I have looked around and seems like it is possible by just changing out the rear covers (4bolt vs 2bolt) but is that all?

Reason being I run open diff in my s13 but I bought a welded open diff off a s14 and is still inside pumpkin.

I know the internals are gonna be the same, but is this swap gonna be straight up, just changing diff covers?

you should just sell the s14 welded and look for one in an s13 pumpkin. they're everywhere
