Can anyone tell me if there are any advantages/disadvantages to the original FE diff?
Apart from a kg or two of dirt and clay (good preserver of bolts and nuts actually) it seems to be in good nick.
The 14" rims I want to use only need a 10mm off-set to fit perfectly.
I had planned to fit a Torana diff, but being 30mm shorter each side it will stuff up the measurements and the tyres will rub.
Hi stinky,
If you are going to be running a grey motor the FE diff would be O.K.The Pinion Flange is probably the weakest point so i would suggest fitting a EJ Flange as they are reinforced. If you are going red motor i would go for a fine spline Torana diff. ;)
Hope this helps,

I have a pretty warm 202 going in, there is also an LSD centre to go in though.
I guess you are going to tell me I need different axles or something ;D
depends on your LSD is it the coarse spline centre or the fine spline diff centre as holden had both.
I'll need to email Alan Wall about the LSD (unless you are reading this Alan?).
Once I have worked out the LSD spline type-
What spline are the FE axles?
If the LSD differs, what axle options do I have?
