True- the post-'80 ZF (also known as the M-1 ZF and which may have come from 
the so-called racing ZF of the '70s) uses larger shafts, bigger gears and a 
reinforced diff case with different gear ratios. None of the guts interchange 
with early assemblies without a lot of work, due to larger bearing sizes etc, 
but   the M-1 unit bolts right up to a stock bellhousing. It also came stock 
with CV joints. Lloyd would know the details if asked. Cheers- J Deryke
