[Peugeot-L] 604 to 504 suspension swap

Hello from Athens, Greece. As if didn't have enough Peugeot projects going simultaneously (injection overhaul on my 1973 504 coupe, transmission/diff rebuild on the 106 Rallye and parting out a 604 SL), I just starting on a new one. I will be building a classic hill climb car out of a just acquired 1971 504 4 door which now has a Euro version carburated XN1 from an early 505. I am hoping to use as much of the 604 parts car as possible to widen the track and improve roadhoalding. Dave McBean's Aussie site (hot five oh's) mentions that you can use 604 front struts and suspension arms and rear trailing arms to widen the front and rear tracks of the 504 sedan, but somehow this list seems incomplete to me. I am planning to use as much of the 604 suspension as possible for this task, including springs (I will cut them a tad to lower and stiffen the 504) anti-roll bars, axles, differentials, etc. Can you please give me some guidance as to my best options? Brian, I know you are the real guru on this, so If you are out there please pitch in. Also: I would like to use a shorter differential, like a 9X38 (4.22) from a 504 SW or even a 9X37 (4.11) from an STI. Does anyone now the diff gearing for the 604 SL automatic? Will it work for the 504?
