Question EF Fairmont Ghias-Difference between S1 and S2

Hi everyone, I''m trying to find out the specs on series one and two EF Ghias-as in engne output/suspension/diff ratios.

I recently bought a series one EF Ghia and judging from the rev gauge at 100km/h it has 3.23/27 diff gears but I don't know if it's an LSD.
The research section on carsales.com.au states that LSD was optional, but further down the article lists the LSD as standard. It also quotes both EF1 and 2 Ghias to make 162kw-I thought the S1 had the standard engine with 157kw and the S2 had the XR6 engine and made slightly less power than the XR. Can't tell if it has XR suspension, but as the previous owner dumped it on it's *** it handles alright (still a bit floaty, but floaty and Ford go hand in hand)

Any info would greatly appreciated!
Cheers, Rob.
