hahaha yea them too, yea and the p76 leylands haha. yea man what do you think of them? yea them chargers had some nuts 6 cylinder hemis and in their peak were gettin dam near as much power as the 351s but used alot more gas in which case id tend to opt for the falcon as it had the v8, the power of a v8 and was more economical because it was less worked in comparison. slant sixes early on i think. . yea theyre the budget muscle cars as far as they go down here, the company didnt last long. they also had 318 v8s and the early valiant regals and pacers were plymouth chrysler based the first ones being re badged imports of plymouth valiants from the states. in 2nd pic . The big thing with the VG Valiant was the all new Hemi-6 engine, replacing the Slant-6. The Hemi-6 was introduced as a 245 cu in (4 L) unit with quasi-hemispherical combustion chambers. The "Hemi" name was already legendary in America with Chrysler's use of the Hemi V8s, so it was not hard for Chrysler Australia to market the Hemi-6 as a desirable engine.

The 1-barrel version of the 245 produced 165 bhp (123 kW) and 235 lb·ft (319 N·m).

The sporty Pacer sedan was available again, but whereas the VF Pacer was only offered with the one power output, the new VG Pacer offered 3 different versions of the new 245 Hemi engine, though Chrysler Australia didn't publish any power output figures for the Pacers.
The standard Pacer had a 2-barrel carburettor and produced 185 bhp (138 kW). Option E31 produced 195 bhp (145 kW) and included a 2-barrel carburettor, higher-performance camshaft, smaller fan, and windage tray.
Option E34 produced 235 bhp (175 kW) and included a 4-barrel carburettor, high-performance camshaft, dual-plate clutch, manual choke, modified instrument cluster, torque-limiting engine mount strut, larger radiator, smaller fan, windage tray, premium engine bearings, shot-peened crankshaft and connecting rods, and high-capacity oil pump.
Option E35 included a 4-barrel carburettor, high-performance camshaft, heavy-duty engine bearings, a dual-plate clutch, torque-limiting engine mount strut, and the ordinary Pacer-spec transmission.
the E38 option was the one to have E38 Charger versions featured a 265 Hemi 6 which produced 280 bhp (209 kW) while the E37 and E48 were the street six packs. E38 was a race-ready Charger with the A84 Track Pack, which included a 35 imperial gallons (159.1 l) fuel tank. The A87 Track Pack included all the race track goodies with the exception of the big tank for endurance racing. not realy my cup of tea the valiants im more a falcon fan aye they were always king at bathurst
