OK ..That is what I thought.
They need the axle from a 108/4.5 for that conversion.. the 109 will not work due to mounting difference in the suspension system.
They want the 108/4.5 b/c that gets their 113 a cruising @ lower RPM with the 3:27 gearing only used on the 4.5/108.
The 113s [ most] are 3:92 and 4:08 , so they tend to scream at highway speeds. It is a great conversion, although I only recommend it on the Manaual trans 113s.
Here is a utube on that same conversion
