I think JH means it's made in Brisbane instead of Broadmeadows which is JG. Not so common a sight. That's the only difference between the 2.

Sorry Scooter, JH is Brisbane. JG is Broadmeadows. I've seen JH XBs and XAs a few times up here but they are very rare compared to the JG units.

JH is definitely Brisbane assembly plant. Generally it is on the high series cars (Fairlanes and LTD's)but some Falcons were also built there. The block would still have originated from the Geelong engine foundry same as any 'JG' Cleveland engine.

As stated above, JH = Eagle Farm plant. From April 1978 onward, all fairlanes and LTD's were made at the Eagle Farm plant. raeson for this is that Fprd wanted to increase production for the Falcon (forward planning for the XD).
Also, most falcons, Fai
