Hemi 6 245 & 265 Crates

Hi bthieson, what do you want to know about this?

I have 1 X Hemi 265 4bbl in a boat, 1 X E49+ spec in an Australian Charger and a few 265's in storage for a rainy day. I purchased a motor from the crowd you linked to many year ago (1989) - when young and stupid - never again. I now build all my own engines, then I know that what I pay for is what is in the engine and that the machine work is up to scratch.

Note the crate motor advertised is not new. (no new Hemi 6 blocks are available.)

The Australian A body Charger and Pacer engine bay is much same as late 60's US Dart engine bay except for location of steering box, Master Cylinder, etc. 4spd manual has a slightly different transmission hump to US A bodies (easy to modify though), 3spd manuals and autos should be the same (no different to small block A body).

You may have a problem with exhaust on US Steering box so would need custom extractors. Tripple Webbers may be a problem on Brake Booster/Master Cyl. 4BBL would probably be OK.

The Hemi 6 is a bit longer than a Slant but over here many Slants in early/mid 60's A bodies (shorter engine bay) are replaced by Hemi 6's. so they can be fitted.


Cheers
Jamie
