Banjo Diff in V6 Capri
Hi all, playing around today and looked under my newest capri and thought that not the right diff. It seems someone has converted a Banjo with 3.36 gears and put it into the car. The car has no motor or box but the diff seems to have been installed correctly. So my questions are 1. Are they a strong enough diff for a Capri 3lt motor. 2. Would the gearing be bad with standard gearbox and motor. 3. Its meant for a holden should i use it and why. 4. Do you reckon it was being set up for Holden motor and gearbox as well. 5. Are parts just easier to get and cheaper.
Thanks in advance Keith

Not that I am aware off but don't know to much about Escorts. Looks like a banjo to me diff out from the housing like Ford 9 inch and atlas.

I have to say i just don't like the look of this diff, it reminds me of driving behind a Hilux and a poky little diff thats all you can see. Unless its good and really good i will have to pull it out and go for something else.

I would take a Hilux diff anyday over an Atlas, but this looks like an early Holden - Fe or HR or the like?

 As PJ should know, if he payed more attention looking under my car he would recognise it as not Torana, as what I have is Torana. John
