Yes, mk1 960 3.0 was 3.31 but I don't know about 2.3 Turbo.

Did you have any luck tracking an axle down?

Default 3.31 swap

93' and 94' 960s have a 3.31. I swapped a 3.73 in my 91' 940 for a used 3.31 out of a 960. My biggest concern was the driveshaft flange, which swapped just fine. The nut was bigger on the 960 differential, but the spine was the same, so no problem. My 940 shaft flange went right on the 960 differential.

Just bought another one. My first petrol,

Its a 95 b230fk, m90 and has a 1031 diff, 3.54 ratio.
Bought it as it has nice panels that will suit the project car just fine

Very early 760's all had 3.54, regardless of engine option.
