Browsing around the forum as you do and I came across this comment here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5053&p=28823&hilit=r380#p28823
I have a Series 2 so Is the Series 2 diff much better or just mildly? So how much power can the diff take? Would it take a mildly tuned 4.6 V8? How about a 4.6 Mildly tuned supercharged V8?
I am fairly new to investigating this and have been enthused by the responses from a few certain Rover P6 owners to push my build and research more. I know many fit a Jag rear end but I am not too keen on this and I just sold mine to get other bits for the P6. If the P6 diff won't take much power then is there a relatively straight swap to something more powerful? Are diffs from later Rovers perhaps the SD1 more suitable?
Something else that you may like to consider. The series one Rover 3500 differed from the later series two 3500 along with the 3500S in that a number of modifications were made to both the suspension, final drive unit, rear axle flanges, drive shafts and propeller shafts. Apart from any increase in component durability, all were balanced to a higher degree.
