I remember seeing a new aluminum BB Mopar head that had the 452 casting number cast into it. I suspect that Chrysler was trying to get it accepted as a legal replacement, but I haven't seen anything in the engine blueprint specs.

I could be wrong but I really don't think that transmission ever was used in Mopar production vehicle. I think the first four speed was the New Process in 1964.
