E153 diff ratio options

Hi, I have a 1MZFE in a 1990 MR2. The current box appears to be a non LSD V6 Camry 5 speed, but I want to swap this over with a spare LSD E153 that I have, (I have the complete disk to disk rear end). I however I think I would prefer to use a taller diff ratio.
 
Question is will the non LSD Camry final drive fit in my LSD E153? Are there even taller ratio's available.
 
Regards Doug

    Terry from Road & Track has a good article on the E series gearboxes and information on mixing and matching parts.

    From what I've picked up in my research, if you want to change the diff ratio, you need to use a set of parts from which ever gearbox the diff came from. For example, if you want to put the Camry 3.625 diff into the MR2 gearbox (4.285 diff), you need the entire output shaft from the Camry gearbox (all gears removed), the Camry gearbox oil pump and the diff. You then have to remove all your MR2 output shaft gears and fit them onto the Camry output shaft.

    Hi All, Thanks for all of your comments and help.
    I'm happy to pull both apart and reshuffle shafts etc. just didn't want to go to this effort and find the crown gear didn't bolt up!
    Now as long as the quaffe LSD fits the Camry diff gears, I'll be a happy chappy.
    Cheers Doug
