HJ sedan diff won't fit. You'll need a HQ-WB V8 housing and swap the internals over. No need for rear disc brakes either, the WB drums should be more than good enough for the chassis' capabilities.
Ok, just wondering how they are different? As for the disc brakes, its just something that'd be cool to do, not that it's ever going to really need them
Stock black motor rods and crank are cast not forged steel.
I'm aware of that, we chose to use them because they're the same spec as XU-1 rods and cranks
You might find it hard to Engineer and hence pass rego a blown 202 in a WB. The stock VK EFI will be a snack as WB and VK are the same vintage, but a blower may complicate it to the point of not being registerable. What would easily pass though (although you have said you don't want a V8) is a 5.7L/350ci engine out of a HSV - basically a 304/308 stroker, and is as easy to fit as a VK EFI 202 is. In stock guise this should be a snack to Engineer and would probably be cheaper than building up a blown 202 if you get a good used engine and probably have more power. As would a blown V6 out of a VS or VT, bit more to fit though as it needs specialty parts whereas the Holden V8 will bolt straight in using 253/308 sump, pickup etc.
Dad has a friend who has the same setup, albeit with a turbo, registered in a Torana, so we're working with his engineer to along the way
10 char...

And also, if all fails, there is another motor built for this under a bench at home, a stroked 304.
