has anyone ever put a v6 locker in a 4 cyl third? is it even possible?

i got a new v6 aussie locker, but i got a good deal on a 4cyl third with 529's that i want to put the locker in.. would it work with some minor fabing or would it be easier to just swap the 4cyl 529's into the v6 third

 

Nope, completely different unit, your V6 locker only has half as many parts as the 4 cyl.

 

according to this... if you change your carrier...

"All pre-'95 4-cylinder 4wd mini-trucks & 4Runners use the Toyota 8" 2-pinion differential front and rear (except turbo models). This is known as the "4cyl diff." This diff is by far the most common diff in older Toyotas.

- Ten 10mm ring gear bolts
- 27 spline pinion
- 2-pinion carrier (case)
- V6 carriers can be used in this diff if the correct bearings are used

** 4cyl diffs are swappable with the V6 and high pinion diffs."
