That looks like a neat motor swap. Personally, I'd love to build a Rover "K" motor Spridget (or one with a Dura-Tech).

This is what I did this weekend:...Yes, those are my axles. Don't ask...it was fun though

OK, I guess it didn't matter that I didn't have a slide hammer with me at Pocono. *Nothing* would have gotten those out. I'm guessing that you ended up using a plasma cutter (or similar) to get your diff apart.
Does your car have a welded final drive? (I assume it does and that's why *both* axles twisted).
Anyway, glad to see you were able to make it to our event. Brian (my son-in-law) and I had fun following you and Mike around the infield in the Mustang. Brian's Mach 1 is quick (125 mph on the NASCAR section!) , but your Spridgets were giving us a good run in the twisties.
I broke an axle too but I ran about 90 minutes of the 2-hour enduro, so I was still considered a finisher. And since Pete retired first (carb float got stuck), I ended up winning the small bore class.
My axle failure was on the flange-side, so it was easy to fix...it's all back together already. I'll be at the Summit Point vintage event (VRG) in two weeks. My plan is to do an RX-7 narrowed rear in #11 this Winter...I'm tired of all the axle problems, oil leaks and lousy brakes.
Hope to see you at upcoming EMRA events.
