Default SC400 newbie

Hello everyone
My name is Pier, I'm from Italy. I recently bought an SC Soarer V8 (so I assume its the SC400 model) for a drift project and I did some research on what are the options available.
I owe a full service shop here in Italy and we are specialized on custom engineering and fabricator so the plan is to build most of the parts by myself.
My project is to swap an LS2 prep in the car with a T56 transmission. I have some doubt on the rear differential and was thinking on a Ford 9" swap for the rear end. The major issue is that I don't find so much informations of what stub shaft the OEM unit bearing have, what size of joint the axle shafts have. I was thinking to use 934 CV but don't find any stub shafts already done for SC models.
Another point is: I find that most of the parts are interchangeable with Supra models, is there here some gurus that can tell me what are the parts from Supra that can be reused in SC?
On body I'm going to install a Vertex wide body kit and I was looking for best suspension setup for drift with good steering angle.
Thanks for your patience guys and sorry for my english not perfect.

Welcome, glad to have you. There are plenty of parts that interchange in the suspension and driveline (IE differentials, struts, lower control arms, etc). There are various threads you can search through to find what all is interchangeable and if anything must be modified when doing so. Post some pictures when you get a chance!
