Jaguar ended up using it in their 12 cylinder cars too. Much heavier cars, with up to 4.11 differential gears with the overdrive transmissions.
Shelby chose to use the differential (with very minor casting changes) in the 427. True, it wasn't meant for drag racing, but it has held up pretty well otherwise.
