  I did one of these in 1990.  You can use the housing
  from a Syncro transaxle, or what I did, is have a block
  welded on to the side of the housing and machined
  to fit the vacuum servo.  This route is a lot of work,
  and dangerous, because it is easy to ruin.
  The housing swap is expensive.   IMHO this would
  be a lot less expensive to install a limited slip
  axle from germany.   All things considered, it is
  not worth it.

I wasn't aware that there was a limited-slip option available from Germany.
Any information about availablity, probable cost, etc.
