Any of the rear end will work. The turbo 2 and the GTU have a 7inch ring gear were the na is smaller. But the mounting points are still the same as in it the same size as the miata rear end..

To me a true dolt in to me is were you don't have to buy any thing to make it work. The rx7 rear diff will bolt in with out ANY extra parts and i was thinking that the Thunderbird were a sold axle. Sorry if I sound like a ass I have seen other guys on the v8rx7forum do the v8 miata swap and I look in to it years a go and they all most always use the turbo 2 rear end or they do a sold 8.8.
