Doesn't take much to close a topic on that forum, does it! El Coolmino also wants to use a A833 transmission.Joerg wrote:http://www.thehemi.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2219
Intresting reading about possible gearboxes. Guess that Jensen has gone the "Austin gear box - way" as in my early Interceptor.
They had not the strongest engineering department and therefore used tried and tested solutions.

Why the Hemi? The decision is based on the following:
- The research done by Richard Calver (The Chassis Data Book)
- Francis Pullen's research he did on this topic 30 years ago when the documents still existed ( ). Francis remembers seeing a photo of the engine bay (and I think spilling coffee over it). I've wondered if I should send Francis to a hypnotist.
- The meeting notes that Francis posted (thank you Stephen).
Interesting is that production of the Hemi would not much later be ceased (a few months maybe) and the new generation engine (b block) was to be introduced. I wonder how much Jensen knew of these developments.
