[James Clews]

Do you guys know any thing about the 318s made in Brazil as we in Australia appear that our late 318s 78, 79, 80 had our small blocks sourced from brazil. I have bought a 1979 CM Valiant Regal SE and the 318 has stamped on it made in Brazil.Are thjey any different to the USA made small blocks.

Now that's funny. Going all the way back to the pope that divided South America between Spain and Portugal.
World powers back then, 2 of the poorest countries in Europe today.

Never knew they spoke Portuguese in Brazil until...

I was delivering two former works racing Triumph TR4's to a dealer in Palm Beach in the late 80's.

It was a COD delivery for $75,000 and, of course, the dealer write me a check.

I needed a ride to his bank to cash the paper and his sexetary gave me a lift in a very nice Jag XK150 roadster.

She was on the phone when I first approached her for the ride. I did not recognize the language she was speaking....similar to Spanish but not the same. She told me she was from San Paulo and had been in the states 10 years.

Tall and young and tan... midnite black hair with amazing beauty. Wow!
