Like.
My 131 has a Holden diff, Mazda lights & a Delco Ford V8 starter motor.
This all adds up to, It cranks over & starts like you would not get from the Marrelli unit. It can tow & do burnouts & you can see while doing it in the dark.
Don't listen to em mate.
My Toyota has Ford wheels, Dellorto carbs & Holden seats.
My Ford is all Ford, right down to the floor mats, but it is still a Ford  Embarrassed

   Sounds intresting, I have a Holden (HSV) as well but it does have approx 640 horses going through the diff, but would love to have the details of what you have used on the 131.......... Cool

Hi sid. No pics & the car is garaged at our house in town So I can't get some right now.
The diff is from an LC Holden Torana which has a 161 or 186 cubic inch six cylinder driving it. Normal coil over trailing arm live axle set up with all the Holden mounts cut off & all the 131 mounts welded on. Bearing retainer - caliper mount plates machined up for the ends & axle flanges welded stud holes & re machined to take 132 Fiat rear calipers & discs. Looks like it belongs there.  This diff was chosen (even though there are likely better out there) because of ratio, wheel track & commonness here in Australia. Holden used this centre in all six cylinder models from 1964 till 1980. It was also a relatively simple matter to fit the brakes & make a pinion yoke that bolted up my original prop/drive shaft. All machining & fitting by myself.
There is limited slip centres available (used to have one in a 1974 Holden HJ) but mine is open.
the ratio is 3.55 : 1 & the 131 Super Brava original was 3.58 : 1. Holden also made these centres in 3.36 : 1, 3.08 : 1 & 2.79 : 1.
I have 14 inch 132 wheels that look the same as the Brava wheels after I cut the slot holes in them. Tyres are 14" 195x65 firestone &the speedo/odometer is spot on to the k.

Coppers got me clocked on radar at 115kph & its sweet spot is 115 k right where I was cruising.
