That'd up the anty straight away for HSV and Camaro .

I suppose all sorts of reasons why that can't happen but if remotely possible some could be assembled here for other RHD markets as ordered in the Southern Hemisphere such as New Zealand ,other South Pacific nations and maybe even African markets. We do know a thing or two about putting some special Fords together after all ...
How about this,
Prodrive hand build our engines here and sends them to the USA to go in our GT350s
the RHD GT350s get built down the Flat Rock assembly line and then come back to us..
A bit convoluted but it might avoid the "clog" that's caused by limited hand built US engines
and the issue of dummy engines being put into cars that then have to be replaced....
