Something you may not see in the USA

Anything from as far away as New Zealand must be cool. I've never seen anything from there, so I am fascinated.

A lot of very cool Aussie Mopars.

I love the 245 Hemi Slant Six.

Hi,

Its not a slant 6, its a straight up and down, it was a dis used truck engine from the USA that the Aussies got a hold of, in race trim it was a powerful set up, they ran 3 2bbl carbs on it! They came in 245 and 265ci. In race form that were over 300hp!

I stand corrected.
I got confused because one of the guys who helped develop the slant also got sent to Australia from Chrysler to help them work the bugs out of that engine.

It was also developed in the US
