Sorry if this is a waste of time but they have some information on their website, also if you email jeff he is very helpful. Here is the website: http://www.mcnamaradiffs.com.au/products.html Generally when you order a diff from them they just ask you what ratio you would like and make it up for you.

v6 commodore conversion for rangie
has anyone done a conversion like this b4 ...i know the V8 has been done...it sounds silly putting a V6 in place of a V8 but the advantages that i can see are: hugely improved fuel economy lower registration costs close power figures : 258nm@2500 / 112KWs@4750 RR 85' 293nm@3600 / 127KWs VP - V6 ...
