I've owned 3 Hemi's...2 265's and a 245...all stock,and they're an awesome motor....even the 245 used to fly when you put the boot into it.....one of the best motors ever made...I've owned fords,chev's,and holdens....all great cars,but the chryslers realy stand out among them all.
im helping a family friend do up an old CM valiant and for some reason it has a R/T charger 265 in it:S:S...and im only 14 xD but i reckon all the nice looking 70's cars are the best xD A LOT better then a subaru or the japanese stuff... vals are made in australia FOR australia, thats what i was always told :D
It's a damn shame we don't have any of those in the U.S.... or at least a way of converting over a slant six to this configuration. I'd love to take all those V8+ guys and take them on with that 265 in my Dodge Aspen.
I know it would definitely give a 340 V8 a run for it's money, at least.
@JarrodES13 i had a 1972 770 Charger with factory power steering & air con "rare specs with these features from factory" strains the motor a little so had some loss of horse power there, was a fully worked 265 and used to thrash 350 Chevs 95% of them out there depending how worked they were & 360 V8's so yep 340 V8s are easy meat for these things if done right. Love the fact they just keep pulling with so much torque :)
I just have a soft spot for six cylinder MoPars because my Dodge Aspen has a 225 slant six in it. Unfortunately, many mock it for its lack of power. I wish I could convert my car over to the mighty 265 because the majority of Americans don't know about this. They would think "oh, just another six cylinder". With a worked over 265 with EFI, turbocharging, and nitrous oxide, I'd make them see my tail lights.
Do you know of any companies that produce or offer reman. engines?
First off I'm no slant 6 expert other than having a Volare years ago. But rather than going thru the expense of looking for an Aussie 265 to import, you might try building your slant if you want to do something different. It might be cheaper and easier to find parts when needed. I've seen (2) articles over the years of guys building 12 sec slant 6's in Dusters and the like. Try googling "slant 6 performance," you'll find links to what you're looking for.
It's all a matter of being different. I will build up the slant six for now, but in the long run I would love to have the Aussie 265 just for the sake of being different.
hey im 17 and currently own a vh charger with a 265 hemi however it hasnt been started for over 7 years so i know its going to need a good clean out and referbishment my ddad collects jags and we also race but i want to know how you have set up your engine coz i also want mine as a daily drive but i want to have alot of fun in it... im going to get a 5 speed conversion and a $6000 dollar fuel injection kit with manifold but what modifications have you made to engine?
I hope you understand why ARP has torque specs. If torqued properly the bolt will never.. and i mean never break. it has an ultimate yield point. if overstress failure will occur more soon, along with if it is not torqued enough. Just helping you out. You can call up ARP and ask them the proper torque spec with loctite. Its worth the call.
jrkoff, your all wrong, they still break, and for me its 6 runs down the strip before they give up. arp wont suggest a torque spec with loctite they think it doesnt work and warranty is void if using it
Yeah well i don't ignore metalurgists recomendations. I have never had fasteners fail when torqued properly, the thread holes must be precise for an even clamping load. I have built Extreme racing engines of all kind. I prefer sps bolts over arp, but bottom line is listen to the manufacturer. they know whats best. Loctite can leave deadspace in the thread preventing even clamping loads, even sps (carr) bolts have torque specs with ARP moly lube..
sweet car man...my dad has a vh charger with i hot 265 speedway engine in her and they really are a wicked engine...fastest production 6cyl in australia...alot of holden fans dont like em jus because they didnt win bathurst but little do they know in newzearland the xy and toranas couldnt get near the chargers
one as the quickest charger in the world. He didnt know what happenned he was in a corner when all of a sudden this flash wnet past and the charger was 20' in front of him. The ford boys tried to pick a scrap at the pub that night saying the chrysler boys were cheaters. But it was
Well my Rocker geometry was probably the problem ... but I sold my last Valiant, a VH Hemi Pacer in 1992, so it is a long time since I have played with these motors.
The broken rockers (and pushrods) occurred in my Charger Rally Car after hitting some slippery mud going up a hill. After we sorted out the broken bits, it still produced heaps of power on 5 cylinders though.
A guy where I work drives a 265 Charger and these things still look as good as they sound ...
yes, bm, there is such a thing as a hemi slant 6. the aussuie 215 245 and 265 are slant 6's not v-6's or regular straight 6's. and they are very very very hard to find in the states
the 245 strait hemi six was the only version built in the states as a truck motor and the 215 and 265 variant was austrailian specific , the 225 slant which stopped production here in 1970 were called that because they leaned where as the 215 245 265 strait six did not
Oh man these down under engines are amazing, gotta get one.
