They were made I believe for one of the race teams for tracks like Winton. I think there were only something like 30 or so sets made and I know of a couple of people that have them but would be no chance of selling. Is some talk of trying to get some gear sets for the large Salisbury remanufactured for the Group C racers, IF this happens this ratio would probably make it onto the list to get done.

I don't think you will find a set these days.
The only set I ever saw got destroyed in a Group C race a few years ago and I know the owner paid a ridiculous amount for them.

Dave
Spoke to a bloke who has a set
Apparently there was 10 sets made by request from PB to run in his car at Winton
He was chasing the edge over the other Torana's and requested they were homologated as an option
Sets were made and the official word came through the day before the race day - PB already had a set in his car for the day and raced with the ratio on that day
Please don't shoot me down fella's -- only going on what i have been told
Will ring you Dave with a possible lead

Other option might be to get a Borg Warner centre conversion done?
.
Has this been done before ? are we talking removing the axle tubes and putting the torana ones on the cast centre
or changing the internals over , ring gear and pinion etc , would say there would be some neat machining work involved !

They put the Borg Warner internals in the 10-bolt housing. I thought you blokes would be all over it already. It is a mob in Sydney, can't remember the name. Someone here will know who it is that does it.

I thought that was just the 4 spider centre conversion though? Everything is roughly the same size so I guess a gear conversion could be done, but nothing is a straight fit.

thanks very much guy'sIt is a conversion. Been thinking, might have been G&J differentials in Dandenong. You may be right though, probably still uses 10 bolt gears, just the BW hemi. So won't help with circa 4:1 gears.
i'll have to do some research and make some calls

How does one identify such a thing
Rather than picking up small sailsbury/UC ones by mistake ?

Would it be via the number of bolts to mount the crown gear?
10 bolts for large (HQ A9X)
8 bolts for small (bango/UC)

There was a guy on facebook claiming to have 2 sets
Mysteriously sold before I was allowed to look despite my insistence I wanted to pay
I tried
