the donor car is a '96 automatic and I have someone lined up to buy car for the interior after I pull the parts that I need...

I understand that I can use the stock ti parts for now but a lot of people have been opted to swap out the differential from e30's

my local pick and pull has 3 e30 328's if I decide to go this route what has to be done to mount e30 differential on to our e36ti

assuming I go the e30 differential route what are the corresponding transmission and drive shalf combination I will need or would it be more cost effective to go to a drive shaft shop and have them machine a drive shaft to mate up with parts I have readily available
