My books do not show the rear diff going up front. The gears are different sizes, with the larger one that has a lip on it going up front. If you try to put the smaller one up front, the front belt will be too loose since there's no adjustment. I suspect that the rear would then have issues with the larger one. FYI - for a new rear belt, I found that the loosest setting (A - forward) was best. Stock is referred to as "Tight" (B - back), and I felt it was just too much that way.

Hope to get it on the track soon and be more impressed than running a xxx-4

The rear pulley will not work in the front and the front pulley will not work in the rear because the front pulley and belt use small teeth and the rear pulley and belt use big teeth. The rear pulley will not mash with the front belt and the front pulley will not mesh with the rear belt.
To my understanding, the meaning of the "switching" in the attendum is to use the front diff build instructions with the rear diff pulley (to build the rear diff).
That is because the WE uses plastic outdrives in the rear and the original instructions talk about steel outdrives in the rear and plastic in the front.

The addendum text does say "replace the front diff pulley with the rear diff pulley", but your expalnation is right on. It's just a poor choice of words.

Hmm... its been working the way they said to build it... I'll have to look at it closely the next time it's apart... I know that we switched the diff gears as instructed... I remember reading it over and over to make sure I understood it correctly..
