If you don't know the model or year of the SD1, the GM180 was used in the last models of them. I would not stake my life on it but I think the last 3 years of them.
PS it is supposed to be a stronger box than the Borg Warner, this is probably true cos we never managed to break ours and we did give some fair abuse!

Here's a picture of my GM180 gearbox with a modified Lokar selector being fitted

Cheers for that I've managed to find the I d plate on the gearbox and it reads"strasbourg General Motors " on the upper part of the plate and "division France" on the upper right side ,then a large T and H in the middle then on the bottom of the plate there is a stamp that starts"cal" G 11 then another stamp to the right that reads "serial no" 2686712 let's hope this clears all confusion and confirms it is the gm 180 even though I could find nothing saying gm 180 over to you lads by the way I have this engine in a ford pop. My dream car for over 33 years

There you go as you said yourself General motors hence "GM" 180.
