By the way 90% of the mechanical stuff on Chrysler products was invented by GM. The lifelong history of Chrysler engineering is "a day late and a dollar short". No worse series of transmissions has ever been put into a vehicle than the crap stuck in Chryslers in the forties and fifties. Their salvation came with copying a Ford effort. Anything innovative that came out of Chrysler was brilliantly conceived and poorly executed. The so-called Hemi took years to work the bugs out of the valve train. It was hopelessly overweight and still is.
