quick diff question

[bruiserbrad]

ok before i get flamed i have searched but i am still not fully clear on the subject. my salsbury diff from my vc broke and i have sourced a drum diff from a vl from a friend that im going to install now i understand from what i have read is that i need to get the rear section of a vl driveshaft and a front section from a vk efi that has a borgarner diff is this all that i need to source or am i just confuzing myself? thankyou for and help related to the matter

A quick answer..... YES!

 

[bruiserbrad]

thankyou can i just use the whole efi borgwarner shaft or do i need to get the vl rear?

 

[DANNY8]

The whole VK borgy tailshaft will do the trick. I used a VL diff and VK borgy tailshaft in my old VH. Had no drama's with it.

 

[bruiserbrad]

ok another question how do i tell if a vk has a borgy diff?

 

[DANNY8]

The backplate of the borgy will have a rubber bung in the middle for the inspection/top-up hole, the salisbury has a bolt in the middle. Also the borgy uses a flange with 4 bolts to join the tailshaft to the pinion....a salisbury has u-bolts.

Why don't you put another salisbury back in it?

Why don't you put another salisbury back in it?

Because good ones are hard to find, parts a hard to source and Borgy diffs are more easily modified and are stronger.

plus better ratios available with the borgies the 8 bolt salisburys are to commodores what banjos were to Torannas. The borgie diffs are way stronger, way more common these days.
