L34 used a Banjo, even the LX models as well. The A9X used a larger 10 bolt Salisbury, the UC, VB-VK 6 cylinder/4 bangers used a 8 bolt small Salisbury, the larger 308 powered Commodores up to VK used 10 bolt Sals.

Correct, all 6/V8 Toranas used a Banjo, except the A9X and UC.

And, no, don't bother with a Banjo, or Bango as they are "affectionately" known...

It should have smaller combustion chambers than the 179 head, if it's a 149 HC head.This would raise the compression ratio, not reduce it, so power should be slightly increased.
