Is it feasible to slap on a front diff front another vehicle that has the proper gear ratios? Take this for example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1992...temQQimsxZ20091013?IMSfp=TL091013167006r36912

I was thinking if I can find a front and rear diff (i.e. dana rear axle) of the proper gear ratios used, it can be way cheaper and easier to swap than regearing.

What do you guys think?
