Nolo fitto. The top pinion diff is smaller, by quite a bit.
It is so much smaller it will almost fall in the hole in the 60 housing.

60 series= big front diff.
80 series = small front diff.
No fittee.
No Way Jose
As Dan Mention, you could almost stuff the entire 3rd into the hole of the rear housing.
Why not just grind all the mounts off of your housing, flip the bitch over, weld all the mounts back on, BAM HIGH PINION, fill the bitch with oil and run it!

Sure! Although i THINK you might be going backwards!
Or, if the studs holding the diff are symetrical you could just flip the 3rd! (dont think they are though)
I could sworn there was a guy on POR that has done one of these tricks on his 40. I think his name was Tyke Moses and this was awhile ago.
I remember the only issue was oiling the pinion so he had to put extra oil in it or something like that

flipping 3rd member - backwards
if you run a 3rd member upside down it will turn backwards. The ring gear must always stay on the same side of the diff (lh when facing 3rd member. The only application that I have ever seen that uses the ring gear on the opposite side is Mercedes G-wagon front because the front driveshaft turns opposite direction of most vehicles in those. Also some people use upside down diffs in rear engine application.

What about using reverse cut gears?
