I really don't see the need to go with the large case diff if you retain the 1.8. Even supercharged M42 and M44 engines would be fine with the small case diff.
A DASC ti puts out around the same hp as a 2.8. Many people have not upgraded their diff whether a DASC or conversion. My stock one lasted only a few years.
