An option that I have mentioned on here before is one used by a lot of autograssers.

Get a normal Ford English limited slip diff, and weld 4 discs of steel over the 4 holes in it. Take off the crownwheel and bolt your sprocket onto the crownwheel location. drill a couple of the discs and fit grease nipples so you can lube the diff, and mount the lot on a pair of plummer block bearings where the normal mount bearings go.

Not sure about oil/grease sealing arrangements with this setup, never looked closely enough!
