Cool Vals autos

yes I beleive it was when the first "hemi" came out they went to an Aussie motor and trans as well as diff
and maybe it was also a bit cheaper to go with the Ford pattern which BW was already making instead of the Val stud pattern
also has any one heard the story about the Hemi engine plant sent over to Austria back in the eighties to the Jeep plant if you get a chance have a look at an early 90s Jeep and check out the donk it looks a lot like a 245 Hemi motor with EFI attached to it and the badge 4 Litre high output 245CI = 4 Litre
just what Ive heard and seen
thanks John
