When Jeep manufactured the CJ5 at Rocklea, it was part of a deal with the Queensland Government to increase manufacturing in Qld and so the Forestry, Main Roads and Primary Industries all had to buy Jeeps for 4WD applications,from my discussions with Forestry at the time they indicated that the engines were not Falcon but the Ford industrial equivalent and many of the parts, heads etc were not compatible.
