slant to 265 hemi

I agree - i have a 904 here - since it is a 904 slant equiped RHD car this would be a bolt in Have the HEMI 6 standing on its k-member - the biggie is getting the 904 lined up with the Hemi - dowel wise to get the offset right.

Issue is straight forward actually - in my Collection i have a 170 slant, a LA 318 in the 78 CL SE, a 225 in the Charger and a 225 in the 68 Barracuda and that is out of commission. I need the cuda on the road, and making my spare 318 LA fit is more of an issue than making the hemi fit.

And the capacity of the cooling system will be up to the task - it will be a temporary solution till the slant is back and running and by then I will also know what I want to do with the hemi.

...but the hemi will be something else with 904 behind it in a 68 fb barracuda - the combo as mine is at this stage is very light -

Stock 265 is 18 kg lighter than a slant, the one I have does not have an cast iron exhaust - it has extractors, also the inlet is not cast iron - it is aluminum - apparently also not a production item - this drops the weight be a further so 10 -12 kg
The cuda with the hemi and 904 is 50 - 60 kg lighter than a Oz charger with similar running gear and most of in the front - the weight distribution will be very close to 50/50.

Oz - did you keep the starter in the Low position? and do the conversion without an adapter plate
Photographs will be nice please

Ok you can't use a slant 904 to a Hemi it just won't work you have to use a small block 904 which you need to remove the left side dowel & replace it with a nut & bolt. The starter will be in the lower position...You will need to cut the corner of the ear sticking out the left side of the motor to get the starter in. Don't use an adaptor plate as you will then have to mod your trans mount as the adaptor pushes everything back by 12mm..."1/2". I have a mate with a VH Ute that has done exactly what you want to do I will try to get some pic's tomorrow.
