The MD 4 Drag is an option.

My mates beach buggy that is for sale has one fitted into it. From memory Albins now do gear sets and ratios for them as well. With a 9.25" crown
wheel they are built pretty strong! Originally out of a front wheel drive Renault truck which come in sizes from about 2 - 5 tonnes roughly so I am
told.
Like i said it is a bit of work with the torsion housing and it does move the engine back a lil in the car so some tinware modes etc would also need
to be done too.
