Easy 5.7L Question

[Troy711]

Another question, regarding a standard VR Calais.

IS the Differential a Limited Slip or not?

Something just caught my attention and told me it was, but im not sure.

1993, 1994 and 1995 calais:

Standard
Equipment 8 Speaker Stereo, ABS (Antilock Brakes), Air Cond. - Climate Control, Airbag - Drivers, Alarm, Alloy Wheels, Central Locking - Remote/Keyless, Cruise Control, Independent Rear Suspension, Leather Trim (Incl. Seats, inserts), On-board Computer, Paint - Metallic, Power Door Mirrors, Power Steering, Power Windows - Front & Rear, Radio Cassette, Trip Computer, Velour Trim

Optional
Equipment Leather Trim - Full/All , Limited Slip Diff

does that help?

numbers

acording to my holden bible (AKA the holden heritaige book i have) the first 5.7L HSVs were statos and caprices built in 1994

in the vr
223 senators
277 gts
48 statesman (includes 185i)
3 caprices

the vs
series 1
532 (?) senators
82 statemens
12 caprices
85 Gts-r

series 2
177 senators
154 gts
83+ granges

all above are the HSV models only.

also a stroked holden was done by HDT 1987, the calais director.
the car was debagged and was a 5.6ltr verson of the A9L engine. 231kw and 526nm

there was also a HDT VH Group 3 5766cc 5.8ltr, 251kw & 522nm (both din)

all information is from Mr Max Ellery's 'How to rebuild and hotrod a Holden V8'

also i'm not sure when CSV started there stroker. maybe it was a little later then HSV.
