Question Three silly questions please?

I am new to this forum and am trying hard to get my product knowledge up to date - Can someone please answer a couple of simple questions for me please?

1. Does the Boss 260 V8, like the XR8 has, have a alloy or Iron block?

2. I heard somewhere that you can't change wheels to an aftermarket style on Territory at all, not any model - is this true?

3. Where exactly are the Australian spec Ford Couriers made & assembled?

People, if you could clear this up for me, that would be superb?
Thanks!

1. iron
2. true and false. you can change wheels but it afects the cars stability control, brake assist, abs modules etc etc if you want to change and be on the safe side get ones to the exact size as the standard ones. if you put a wider tyre on the standard rim the tyres rub on the rails when you turn the wheels.
3. japan maybe?
