Yes, you can't just swap the flanges on a 2H.

The 2H and even an FF transaxle can be clearanced to accept the 100mm
flanges, though.

The 4K has the advantages of an easy flange swap, and it can use the 020
80% limited slip kit.

The 2H is 3.94:1 and the 4K is 3.89:1.

Btw, there is an iteresting thread on flange swaps at:
