That, supposedly you could pull the posi unit out of a van and have it installed in your Cutlass rear end. A little more work to do, but it may be easier to find that posi unit and have it shipped than the whole rear end. Joe, do you know if that's right?
Your talking about the internals correct?

I'm going back out there and measure EVERY possible dimention of this bad boy some time this week. If I fall somewhere within say 1/2" and the snout has the same centerline dimension than I am probably going to bolt it in.

Did I mention anywhere that I scored this rear end for a mere $50?
