That rear is from a 2WD toyota 7in ring gear....
What year? I do not know but i bet it is a 1981 and newer model.
It is a good rear but is much longer than a OEM 1 st gen rx7 rear.
Also for the work to be done there isant much improvment over say a GSL SE rear.
I would go with a toyota 4x4 rear from a v6 model, Supra turbo posi unit, supra brakes and calipers...they have 31 spline axles, beefy center sections and gear selections from 3.73 to 6.00.
But even better is a Volvo 1984-1991 turbo models rear.
They were Dana 60 , large disk brakes and 5 bolt pattern...and they are 1.5 inches longer than a OEM 1st gen rear. we use them all the time and chances are you can get them for nothing at a local scrap yard...oh and DANA/Spicer sell EVERYTHING for this rear!!!!!
God Bless

I measured 3 type of toyota ring gear they're width from left to right.
toyota 4ag ring gear is 6.7" width 25mm.
toyota crown ring gear is 7.5" width 28mm.
toyota hilux ring gear is 8.2" width 32mm.
I sure go to toyota hilux 5 studs rear end for my upcoming project.

They were Dana 60 , large disk brakes and 5 bolt pattern...and they are 1.5 inches longer than a OEM 1st gen rear. so if you were to use this diff, would you shorten the axles or keep the extra width?I've only ever changed rx7 to rx7 diffs."[/font]
Yes...that is one option...I used Weld racing wheels and they sell the correct offset.
I belive it is 15x8 5 1/2 backspacing....somthing lake that its been a long time..
As long as the toyota was a V6 from 1988 - 95 and the trubo models from 1986-87..you are in good shape..If it is the turbo model or a 92 4x4 v6 that came with oem 31 tires it will have a 4.88 with a clutch type posi unit.. That is as beefy as toyota comes..
We had a 2WD toyota rear in a datsun 78 B200 with 4.30,s and a stock 12A...and it did not hold up much...we took it to hunts point (BronxNY) a few times but was always afrid of the axles giving out...V6 8 inch rears oar eht key!!!!!!
