21 willys, I know your post is a week old but I'll tell ya what I think. I swapped one out in an old Beemer once. I think the IRS is cool and I'm sure you could deal with the springs for you application. But, I'd wonder if that little diff. could handle the torque of a V8? [S

IRS rear
The Mercedes rear from a 300D diesel is pretty rugged, none of them will stand up to clutch dumping abuse, if you are using an automatic maybe.

Some 70's -80's Jags have Dana center sections than can be built to take some hard abuse with axle and hub upgrades to match. Prolly the rear I am gonna use as it will really look unique and has the best chance of holding diesel torque and pretty easy to "bag" for air ride. The dana Jag rears used to be the "hawt" set up for customs back in the day
