Many choices are currently on offer at the eBay site. As to the question of whether a particular diff is compatible with your vehicle: some sellers know more than others. Research via the links that mlytle has kindly provided above will likely afford valuable insights.  

 

If you really "don't care on price," check the rebuilt diffs offered by Metric Mechanic. They do meticulous work, but their units are seriously expensive. 

 

I'll soon be posting an account of the entire diff swap process, with photos. It's all pretty straightforward.

Buy it from this guy Ken; he builds vintage racers, you'll be glad you did.
