Anyone know of a 2.5 final drove can be installed in a 2.7 transmission?

Since ring and pinion have to be matched I'd think you'd have to tear down the trans to change the pinion. Even though both trans use a 9 tooth pinion gear the pitch difference would change from a 32 tooth to a 35 tooth ring gear.
Why not just install the 2.5 trans? You get the better gearing and can easily go back.
