Alright, i am still in the planning/budgeting  phase of my pending 18rg to 1g-gte conversion for my ra23 liftback, (and well, maybe even a bit bigger thaqn the 2l  would be nice). Something i came accross, would i be better when i have the 2l (or maybe 2.5l) to go ford 9 inch LSD with disc brakes rear, or Hilux LSD with drum (or can you get disc rear on this as well (would that be better  )). Now as a toyota driving Holden fan, the idea of a falcon LSD is a bit embarrassing  , but untill the other day, the ford 9" lsd was the best i knew of. also if i build and fit a pretty drop tank for the ra23, like all the torana freaks do (everyone in townsville has a torana) should i just fit a fuel pump in it like efi cars have, or still use a surge tank?
Any info would be appreciated, since leaving townsville for gold coast, I have lost all my contacts, so you guys are it... 
thanks Heaps

Unless you're planning to squeeze 600+ hp out of that 1G (and I'd like to see that), a 9" rear end is massive overkill. These things weigh heaps, and it's all unsprung weight which is BAD for handling. They also have greater rotating mass and transmission losses, which will hurt your car's straight-line performance. I agree with the Hilux suggestion, it's plenty strong and much lighter than a 9". Even lighter is an F series rear end from a Crown or Corona MkII, and F series diff hold up fine in a 7M-GTE MA61 so it should hangle a 1G no worries at all.
