Occasionally we will have to trim the corners of the housing to get the diff to fit, but if you carefully turn the pinion by hand, the unit should walk into place.
Remember that as the gear ratio gets higher, 410, 456, 488, 529, the thicker the ring gear will be, and the harder it should be to fit in the factory housing.
I also seem to recall that the eariler housing has a smaller cutout for the ring gear to fit thur.
The factory 410 diff is a drop in for sure
