David, I wonder if he was referring to the 265 Hemi 6-cylinder Chrysler
engine as used in the Australian Valiants of the mid-70's. They were/are a
very potent engine, especially the one with the factory "6-pack" (triple
45DCOE Webers carbs). They were quicker than the Ford Falcon GT-HO with the
big Cleveland V8 motors. I must have a search of the net for these, there
must be a web site for the Australian Chrysler Valiant car clubs. (These
are NOT the same as the US Plymouth Valiant - the first models of the early
60's were but later ones were home grown).
