The car had a 3.47 swapped on inplace of the 3.07 and I like to cruise at 75mph without spinning the motor insanely high, I had a few old VW diesels so I know they are fine but for the sake of sound and highway mpg. If I wanted it to accelerate fastest I would leave the 3.47 on but it's a NA diesel, acceleration is a by product of travel.
However thanks to a member I ended up finding my answer on another forum.
A w124 SHOULD interchange, the most i might have to do is get different axles and or just take apart the rear and swap axle flanges (10min job a couple C clips)
I found a W124 differential with 200mi on it on ebay. so I think if it doesn't pan out to work I can easily resell it.
