	Chrysler Australian engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Chrysler Corporation's Australian arm needed a six-cylinder engine for use in the Australian version of the Chrysler Valiant.
		Chrysler had been working on a straight-6 to replace the Slant 6 but abandoned the work.
		It was used in the 1970 Chrysler Valiant.

	Chrysler Valiant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chrysler Australia had become increasingly dissatified with the American car's styling direction, which was becoming more box-like leading to the all-Australian VH Valiant series was released in 1971.
		As with the United States in 1959, Valiant was considered a separate marque by Chrysler Australia, and the first 1970s Mitsubishi Galants, and Lancers sold in Australia were badged as Valiant Galants.
		Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited, which took over Chrysler's Australian operations, did not renew the Valiant, although there had been some development work in Detroit on project 'CM-41', a boxier replacement reminiscent of the Dodge St. Regis and Plymouth Gran Fury of 1979, that was to have been launched in 1980.

	Chrysler
		When Chrysler decided that it was never going to become a commercial proposition, they destroyed 40 of the prototypes (to avoid import duty on the bodies that had been imported from Italy), with the remaining 10 being given to museums.
		Chrysler's TV campaign featured the young adults at whom it was targeted, waving at one as it swept by them and shouting "Hey, Charger!" - one of the more memorable TV ads of the time, it created a cliché that haunts today's owners...
		The engines were completely Australian, unlike the V8 Cleveland and Windsor engines used by Ford in its Falcon GT, or the Chevrolet engines used by Holden in the Monaro GTS.

	Aussie Coupes \| Chrysler VF, VG, VH, CH, VJ and CL \| V Series \| Valiant
		They were introduced as a replacement for Chrysler Australia's previous "top-of-the-range" offering, the Dodge Phoenix, which was imported to Australia as a CKD (Complete Knock Down) kit, and assembled in Australia (using a variety of Australian Valiant parts, eg door handles, etc).
		Chrysler never sought to use Australian ideas in the US, where the 265 Hemi Six-pack would have been the first of the really hot sixes.
		The V in VH is for Valiant, and the C in CH is for Chrysler.

	Australian Chrysler cars
		Chrysler International SA in Belgium appointed Chrysler Motors Ltd. to be the European concessionaires, and Warwick Wright Ltd. to be the British distributors of the new Australian cars.
		Engine choice was the 3690 cc (225 cubic inch) Slant Six with a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes and the 4500cc (273 cubic inch) V8 with automatic transmission only.
		Although an Australian design, the American influence was clear both in the way the car looked and the way the VH was engineered, with a relatively simple suspension system and large, unstressed engines designed for long distance cruising rather than short bursts of activity on small congested roads.

	Chrysler's people mover from hell
		Chrysler in the US hasn't yet announced performance figures but says the 3.5-litre version of the Town and Country Limited will surprise owners of current people movers.
		Chrysler Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan are built in the US in St Louis, Missouri and in Canada at Windsor, Ontario.
		Chrysler also says it invented the luxury people mover in 1990 with its first Town and Country.

	Mopars From Down Under
		The company was entirely Australian owned until 1951, when the Chrysler Corporation bought a controlling interest and changed the name to Chrysler Australia Ltd. The company began a rapid expansion, with a goal of producing vehicles with 90 percent local content.
		Three versions of the engine were available, a base engine producing 165 HP, a 2 barrel version with 185 HP and a high performance version available only in the Pacer, producing around 195 HP.
		Chryslers trump card came in the form of the Charger coupe – a short wheelbase sports model that was a truly new design, and was immediately loved in the showroom.

	The Australian: Kia Sportage [November 23, 2005] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		According to those responsible for designing and engineering models shared between the sister brands, this will occur before the decade is out and, for the small Kia SUV, will send it into a sleeker, sportier dimension more along the lines of a BMW X3 than a CR-V wannabe.
		Confirming a senior research engineer's prediction to us 18 months ago, the vehicle (a Tucson, but also read as a Sportage) has achieved a five-star crash-test rating – the highest possible – in the US New Car Assessment Program, which is understood to be equivalent to four stars in European NCAP.
		This result is a darn sight better than the poor (akin to one-star) result the previous Sportage achieved in an Australian NCAP test, although we hasten to add that side airbags and curtain airbags fitted to the Tucson Elite model in Australia are not available on the new Sportage.

	exn.ca's Cars: Chrysler looks back to the future...as well as forward
		It's what Chrysler calls a "flexible activity vehicle" and will be available in the next few months as a 2001 model.
		Chrysler is betting that its flexibility and outrageous styling will cut through a number of very different population demographics.
		The most stunning of these is the Chrysler Citadel, something the auto manufacturer calls a "hybrid-hybrid." That's because it offers the comfort of a sports sedan and the cargo space of a wagon, plus, it draws power from two different sources.

	Chrysler in Australia: Valiant Charger and others, 1970 through the end
		It could be equipped with a slant six, small V-8, or the "ordinary" 265 Hemi, an engine originally created for trucks, but abandoned in the US and developed to its full potential in Australia.
		In the American Dusters, it was a match for many big-blocks, but was often underestimated in the US (and in Australia, where it was the first high-performance V-8 to be offered in a Valiant or Charger).
		Allegedly, a Valiant was shipped to America to have the suspension tuned further, and it was returned with Chrysler stating that the Valiant had better handling than any large car they had produced.

	Thunder Down Under
		Engineers took the 265-inch straight-six Highand Park had created as a truck motor in the ’60s and developed it into a literal screamer.
		In fact, the pride the Australian engineers took in their 1.13hp-per-cube design probably kept V8 sales in the model to a minimum (the 318 as well as detuned 340/360 mills were available during the Charger’s production run, none as quick as the E39).
		The lope of the high-compression engine and its hot cam was evident as soon as the engine was started, and the tight gearing in the transmission and rear (a calculated ratio of 6.92) had the engine whining even at 15 mph.

	Australian Story
		As all Australian petrol was imported (in US Dollars) petrol rationing continued after the end of WW2 and the use of US Dollars to import cars required a government permit.
		In the fifties cars such as Buick, Oldsmobile, Mercury and Chrysler had disappeared from the showrooms and prices were rising for those cars still available.
		From 1949 the Australian Chevrolets kept up with the US styling (unlike 1946-49 and Ford) however mechanical developments were slower coming.

		Unfortunatly, like most Chryslers rust eventually starts to get into it but otherwise it was in relatively good condition and only had 85,000 Kms on it at the time.
		The Centura does not have power steering, it is important therefore to keep good tyres on the front correctly inflated and make sure the steering alignment is exactly right or you will have to wrestle with the steering wheel and eventually the steering rack will suffer.
		Chrysler made an attempt to compensate the Centura's weird weight distribution by putting a variable hydraulic pressure limiting valve in the rear braking circuit.

	Chrysler in Australia: the Valiant Pacer
		All these were fitted with 3 speed floor shift manual gearboxes as Chrysler Australia's policy was to use locally produced components...
		The VG Pacer coupe was not available with either the E31 or E34 engine options.
		The VH Pacer had a higher performance 265, and it set a record for being the fastest mass-produced four-door sedan with a six cylinder engine produced in Australia (the record was indisputed until 1988).

	V8 News - News - The Official Website of V8 Supercars Australia
		Chrysler will return to Australian motorsport taking on the lead role in the Australian V8 Supercar Championship Series after a 34-year absence.
		The association with V8 touring cars, aimed at giving Australians a preview of the award-winning Chrysler 300C ahead of its release later in the year, is the first step in Chrysler’s move into the premium saloon segment.
		Chrysler’s support of the V8 Supercar Championship is the first time since 1971 that a factory-backed car has been involved in Australian motorsport and the first time a Chrysler has been utilised for official Wright Patton Shakespeare Safety Car Program duties.

	Larry Blomberg's 1960 Imperial LeBaron
		The story I tell has its roots in the Chrysler R and S Series Valiant and the Chrysler AP Series from the early 60’s and for that reason I give a short expose of these fine motor vehicles.
		It was stated that because the engine was inclined to the right at an angle of 30 degrees, a lower bonnet line was permitted.
		For the first time an Australian car came with an alternator instead of a generator, and instead of coil springs, the Valiant came with torsion bar suspension.

	Chrysler Royal, Plainsman, and Wayfarer - Australian production cars
		Chrysler Corporation, which had bought control in 1951 of the Australian company, needed something newer and more exciting to keep up with the more modern models of the competition.
		Chrysler boasted that its car was first to bring four options to the Australian market: "Safety-Sure" power brakes, automatic overdrive, full-time power steering, and, of course Powerflite automatic transmissions activated by pushbuttons.
		The "Chrysler" script from the trunk/boot lid was relocated to the hood/bonnet, trading places with the "CHRYSLER" block letters that had been there on the AP1.

	Chrysler PT Cruisers of Europe, including the Street Cruiser Series 1
		At least for the first generation (pre-2006), Australian PT Cruisers have four airbags and four wheel disc brakes with traction control, as well as air conditioning, cruise control, and other conveniences — no equivalent to the American base model.
		To conserve fuel, PT Cruisers are available with a 2.0 liter four cylinder engine or a 2.2 liter Mercedes diesel in Europe (as well as a 1.6 liter engine not used in the United States, which is shared with the BMW Mini, but is based on the Neon 2.0 design).
		The 1.6 liter engine was codeveloped with Rover, and is used in the BMW Mini (BMW purchased Rover and later gave it away).

		There's little doubt Chrysler Australia has equally high hopes for the 300C, banking on it to continue the sales momentum generated by a succession of new models and assist in the regeneration of the Chrysler brand Down Under.
		Chrysler is also considering the introduction of a turbodiesel variant, as well as hotter SRT and Touring (wagon) versions.
		Chrysler also dipped into Mercedes' parts bin for the power rack and pinion steering, while braking is taken care of by twin-piston aluminium callipers and 345mm vented rotors at the front, and single-piston aluminium callipers with 320mm vented rotors at the rear.

		Holden (General Motors) engine adaptors: there are several sources making them, some companies and some private individuals.
		Welded are best, and need easy access to the mount studs for those many engine mounts you are going to have to replace due to added torque and oil-spray effects.
		The main disadvantage with a Holden of course is the radiator issue: need a large unit for good cooling at high revs, but the engine is far forward so you need to move the radiator about 2-3 inches.

		The rear-wheel-drive coupe is being imported from GM's Australian subsidiary because GM didn't have a U.S. rear-wheel drive system that would work on the muscle car.
