GM Holden LX Torana - LS1 Conversion
1976 GM Holden LX Torana Sedan
LS1 Conversion (from 2004 GM Holden Commodore)
Performance Wholesale Heads - CNC Ported
Comp Cam 238/240
Patriot Springs/Pushrods
Yella Terra Roller Rockers
Race Balancer
Meiziere WP119U Electric Water Pump
Low mount Alternator conversion
T400 Gearbox, fully manualised
B&M Mega Shifter
B&M thermo cooled transmission cooler
3800rpm Hi-Stall
TCI Flexplate suit LS1 & T400
Moroso 20140 oil pan
MSD Starter Motor
Borg Warner Diff Conversion with 3.9 gears and mini spool
Custom Tailshaft
Custom Headers, twin stainless 3" exhaust, magnaflow cats & mufflers
300mm Front brake conversion with twin piston calipers
Super low springs, Koni shocks all around and full rubber/bush kit
1" 4 wheel disc master cylinder, A9X booster, custom brake lines
Started off as a 1 owner 6 cylinder car. Lots of money spent and still not painted or running.
Requiring Wiring & Fuel system to complete and some small exhaust modifications.
Before being touched
6 cylinder out
Different between Banjo drum brake diff and new borg warner disc brake diff
First test fit of LS1 engine
First Magazine Feature
Custom Headers being made on "jig"
Brakes on, diff in, engine re-fitted
Gearbox in, Exhaust made
Another Magazine Feature
Off for suspension/brakes to be finished (note buick v6 for gate stopper )
Back from suspension/brakes
And that is pretty much how she sits today, owning a house with a few projects on the go means kind of slow progress from here

Good chance of that, they are available in GM cars from 86 through to 97, aswell as Australian fords from 81 through to 98. Also Australian delivered Nissan Skylines 86-88. The particular one i used is from a 87 Skyline as it is the same width as the Torana diff from the factory.
The good thing about so many cars sharing this diff is there is a multitude of gears and centres available including aftermarket like LOKKA/TrueTrac/Kaaz
