    yup... insides are the same i believe just make sure you have ALL the parts cos you need to swap somethings around. Im not sure how easy it is but im pretty sure it can be done.

    "IRS LSD centers are interchangeable with semi trailing diffs, however it has been suggested that for later model IRS commodores were fitted with a different offset centers and these would not be interchangeable with earlier models, however I have never seen one and I’m not sure about this."
