Its not particularly hard but you hant just throw it in either. Get acustomed with a mig welder and an angle grinder cos you will have to cut a section out of your flywheel and if you want it auto (which i suggest if you dont change your diff) you will have to weld in a trimatic trans tunnel out of a Kingswood or a Torana. If you want it manual you would be better off starting with a stock auto Gemini cos they have bigger tunnels in em already. My TD Panvan has a injected 186 and hot TH180C with a slippery bang-go diff. Its worth it and different from the rest of the Gemini bunch.

it doesnt because you have to slightly shorten the housing (you can get away without shortening if its an LC/LJ housing), cut off the original mounts then weld the gemini mounts on, the torque tube is a piece of shit and youre better off without it. you will have to cut off the T/tube mount because it gets in the way of the t/shaft when you have the correct angle of your driveline. NOTE: if you shorten the housing you have to shorten the axles too. NOTE: banjos had 2 different splines, course and fine, make sure you have a matching set of axles and centre.

PS: if you dont shorten the diff you will have to flare the guards slightly if you have wide wheels otherwise the pork will get you for protruding wheels. and a custom t/shaft has to be made. Measure MEASURE AND MEASURE AGAIN!!!
