pretty sure sil's are all lsd. auto's were 3.9s and manuals 3.7's i believe centre's are should be the same

Above is all correct, it will fit in a VLT or VL V8 diff (not n.a) Is it manual or auto? Let us know what ratio it is!

Yes it will fit in a na housing, obviously your axles won't fit been 25 spline and centre is 28 spline

Yes i ofcourse know that, all bw78. It will fit into a na housing yes, theyre the same. But it wont fit into a n.a vl 'diff', interms of the 25 spline axles - thats what i meant.
