I used to destroy diffs in my XU1 Torana with a warmed up 6 cylinder. They are not the best choice for a Cobra. Brett is right, go for the later Commodore BTR diff. It will be more than strong enough and you will get disc brakes standard.

The other option if you aren't in a hurry is to go to swap meets and keep an eye on the Trading post. Every now and then I see Ford 9" diffs that have been converted for Torana going for reasonable money.

The 9" is a big heavy diff though and probably over kill for a 5.0L equipped car.

Cheers
