Default Driveshaft and Diff compliance

Ok, I have read through all 15 pages of the engine swap info. Great stuff but one thing I'm left without a concrete answer is driveshaft/diff useage.

Now I know J!m went with the Ti trans (modified shifter mount and linkage) and Ti driveshaft and MZ3 diff. I've gotten confliciting info saying the MZ3 flange is meant for 4 bolts and other places saying 6 bolts. Also I've even read you can bolt a 4 bolt driveshaft into the 6 bolt flange. So if J!m or anyone who did the same setup can tell me if they had to modify the flange or driveshaft that would be great. Also I would imagine you guys used the MZ3 halfshafts?

Anyone else who went other routes and want to share, please do!

Well a 6 bolt driveshaft will not fit through the rear subframe... i tried, but then i just swapped the flanges for a 4-bolt one and used a whole 4-bolt e36 driveshaft. BTW this was with an s50 swap, motor and tranny.
