    Get a Tran x lsd with the f20 (larger) side gears. Then use conversion shafts with 5 stud hubs. Not cheap though.

    On a n/a smallblock I'd be tempted to cut & shut the shafts together, use smallblock inner & bigblock Cav/Astra outer half with the 5 stud hubs.

    As said above, Cav V6 gear on the rear. Or drill & tap the drums.
