Gidday Folks,

Just to clarify, the chrysler that I want to play with's US equivalent =
is the Plymouth Valiant, which started production in '59, and was a 225 =
cubic inch slant 6. I was confusing the engine with another Aussie built =
gutless wonder engine.=20

We did have a very quick straight 6 (the Australian built Hemi six-pack) =
that powered what was the quickest accelerating production car in =
Australia, in the Chrysler Charger 1972 model E-49, that turned out over =
300 bhp. It had hemispheric heads, triple dellorto carbs and the wildest =
camshaft this side of the Black stump. Getting one's hands on one in =
good nick, however, is not easy, and keeping it tuned properly is a =
bitch. I do not know if this motor had a US equivalent - I suspect that =
it was only produced locally. If anyone can tell me I would much =
appreciate it.

Can anyone suggest any good sites for infor on souping up Chryslers - =
partcularly small block V8's?

Best Wishes
