the HP has the tickford wings on the front of the head also you will have adaptive shift (no pwr/econ switch) as this is part of the HP ECU

If it's an XR6 it can only be VCT or HP... If it's not VCT, it's HP...

The HP was a live rear end without VCT, the VCT came with IRS.

if its a VCT it will have a plug going into the front of the head of the engine - i.e. stand at the front of the car, look at the engine,if there's a thing going into the centre of it with the tickford wings on it, its a VCT.

If its just a HP engine, it will have a red rocker cover and otherwise look like a normal engine.

No AU's had a "hybrid" setup. If its a TRUE XR6 HP it will have the wings on the front of the head, an adaptive auto (if its auto) meaning no switch on the trans tunnel and Tickford wings on the dash.
