Big salisbury from hq/z etc are stronger. the Uc torana (small) salisbury is only marginally stronger.

This is out of a 1 tonner so I am guessing it is the big one.

The 10 Bolt Salisbury can be very strong, a lot depends on who sets it up and how.

It would work good for the V8 LC and a locker diff would be easier to find.

go and fit a bw if your thinking of changing the banjo reason is i had a salisbury in mine in the begin and broke it three times and then went to a bw not a problem since.

A Borg Warner is certainly a cheaper option than a 10 bolt and parts for 10 bolts are not cheap either.
BW seems to be the way to go these days and if I were to be looking for a low budget diff a BW is what I would be looking at.
Then again if money was no object I would have a Ford 9" set up properly in preference to them all.

10 bolt salisbury are strong but behind a good 308+ it will take its toll because of the torque at low revs.

Behind a turbo , six they are brillant unless of course yuo using a transbrake where it makes no diff what engine combo you running lol.

the actuall nick name 10 bolt come from the chev family of the 12 and 10 bolt diffs and named such as they have 12 and 10 bolts respectivley that hold the crown to the center.
so to get technical a 10 bolt is a chev diff and a salsbury adopted the name for its similar looks.

Ofcourse it will be stronger than the banjo but it would be easier to use a b/w for parts availability over the salisbury.

Just another consideration Rory, is those salsbury's are bloody heavy, and would be a real shame to weight down that nimble looking little car of yours. Borg Warner for sure,

Yeah R

The VL or even a VN diff BW (vn diffs are cheaper) and spools are also available
10 bolts are too heavy and not a real great improvement
Ford 9 inches are way too heavy to much power loss

Then you just have to find someone to do the conversion with out stuffing it up

The one tonner diffs ran different yokes too! we fitted one to a mates HQ van a few years back and no one noticed until we went to fit the tailshaft, the one tonner ran a bigger yoke from memory, but certainly stronger then a banjo.

another problem with the 10 bolt is the ratios. most common ones are 3.08, 3.36, 3.55, 4.44. most people want 3.70, 3.9, 4.11's witch arre'nt available in 10 bolts, so i would go for the b/w option. spools & gear selection are alot easier to get hold of, & cheaper too!

Salsbury's get bigger axles, but the bits that matter inside are the same as Banjos. Tonner centres are stronger than std ones, and you get a better spread of ratios with the Salisbury.
You can use the Banjo Crown wheels etc, to make up the 2.78, 3.9 and 4.11s........

Easier to change a Banjo centre tho, hehehe.

BW is the way to go the VL Turbo and VN being identical.
And you can take the brakes you get with it too.

Grant please check your facts !!!!!!

there are several types of "sailsbury " diffs fitted to Holdens, firstly there were the ones fitted to HK/T/G , chev type unit.

then there is the V8 large sailsbury that was fitted to all V8 HQ to HZ holdens, available in single wheeler or LSD, ratio choices are 2.60 , 2.78 , 3.08 , 3.36 , 3.55 and 4.44 (4.44 was the one tonner ratio, they also have a thicker axle in tonners) also fitted to WB statesmans and 5.0 ltr WB utes / vans/ tonners , they are also standard fitment in all 5.0 commodores from VB to VK . and A9X's.

then there's the third group, small sailsbury, fitted to UC torana/sunbird, all non 5.0ltr commodores up to vl. and non 5.0ltr WB's , this is the type that uses the same internals as the banjo diff centres.

there is no 4.11 ratio holden sailbury (or banjo) .

Hi Guys.

To add to what MYLJ has posted, the Large Holden Salisbury was fitted to ALL 1-Tonners from HQ to WB both 6 & V8.

The Large Salisbury was available in the ratios:- 2.60, 2.78, 3.08, 3.36, 3.55, 3.90 & 4.44.

The Small Salisbury was available in the ratios:-3.08, 3.36, 3.55 & 3.90. These gears are the same as banjo diff gears, so the old HK/HT/HG 2.78 gears would also fit into the Small Salisbury centre, if required. If you really wanted to the old 3.89 (48 to EJ gears would also fit.
