Hey Guys

A mechanic mate of mine told me that the lsd centre from a late odel falcon would fit into a VN commodore, is this true - anybody know or tried it ?

The Falcon, VL-VS and some R31 skylines all run the 4 pinion LSD setup for the 78 series diff. Centres can be exchanged as far as i no and read.

Yes, this is true, as my VN is running an EL XR8 3.45 ratio lsd. Was rebuilt by a reputable diff shop. From what i know the reason behind them using Ford ones is the fact that they are usually cheaper, never actually done any research though, so don't quote me on it. I think it is only up to EL that fits, although i have been told the AU centres are also the same?

Yes the 2.77:1 carrier is completely different. It can however be used with a 6mm thick spacer ring behind the crown wheel to bring it back to correct alignment but this is not ideal.
