John i would not look under a NON  genuine RS 2000 to look at a holden torana banjo diff.
If you GOOGLE holden torana banjo diff and look at the photos you will see the part number on the front of the diff
as the same as the photos Wiggy333 has posted.
John not all Holden diff cases were the same But you would know that as you know all.
Cheers PJ

I have no idea either way, but it must be a common swap, there was a wild violet v6 sold out of Lismore NSW a while black and it had a genuine Torana XU1 diff in it and had done so for years.

Hi so if it is a Torana diff then which model of Torana did it come from. I thought maybe LX or sunbird. And is it strong. Keith

My one is a LJ / LC six cylinder unit. Running in the car for over 30 years. Length of housing is 13 mm longer than standard unit from memory. Back in the day centres were easy to locate in a variety of ratios and virtually bullet proof.

I just don't know about using this diff. Problem is I have no motor or box for the car yet but don't want to set everything up and make new drive shaft for it. The car will eventually get a V6 put back in it and whilst not to be concourse it should at least have fairly stock standard running gear. I think

PJ you may be right, the factory diff could not handle the power, lasted only 3 years, this one has not failed, two gearboxes latter still going strong.
This whole conversion costed less than $100 in the day, including the centre. I have a BW for my next project I picked up for a good price and it has receipts for over $4000.

If what you have is infact a Holden Diff housing and centre it would easily handle a V6 output. Holden run these centres in the XU1 and some of there V8 range. If it works then why change it, spend money in other areas.

Wow! I must be doing something very wrong.
I have been driving my Escorts almost every day since May 1980. Rain, hail or shine.
Never have had to replace any diff or gear box. Only one engine because the oil rings wore out.

John must be the way you try to drive it as there are lots of cars out there with more then 70.9HP and dont break them.My little 1600 has 130 and did not break and diffs or gearboxes so it must just be the way you drive.
PS Lucky you like fishing on here John as you wouldn't catch anything in your car with all that HP.
