slant to 265 hemi

Hi guys - just an Update:
The 265 HEMI is being mated to the TF 904LA transmission - once bolted up - the top three bolts line up - the it was clear minimal engineering was needed, as the Hemi dowels is slightly outboard of the 904's.

So two blocks have been fabricated, and mounted by cross-drilled bolts to the outside of the stock 904 dowel position, they where then welded in place for extra strength, THEN and this is the clever bit - to assure absolute zero runout - the mounting bolt holes where bushed, so they are also adding to the rigidity and precision of the assembly - special machined bolts are being used. The new dowel holes where marked and drilled and the dowels installed - run-out checked again - it was spot-on.
The K-member,transmission x-member and mounting brackets are in for powder coating, the engine and transmission mounts are in for re manufacturing and the drive shaft for a balance job .
I am waiting for my Weber manifold from Oz.. and here is the next interesting bitL due to the cost of new decent 45 dcoe's - this engine is running with dcoe EFI throttle bodies - YUP she is gojng to be injected ( 3x 45 DCOE's =~ $3000 the efi setup with everything needed - ~$1000
So there you go: a 1968 265 cid 6 cylinder 6 pack, EFI, Hemi'cuda.
And since the RSA cars had the Formula S suspension - it is a Formula S one as well!!
Once my slant has been rebuilt this lot will be moved over to a VH Ute I have My eye on - at that stage i will see If i am a total purist, or a Mopar Guy with an immensely unique and fun car
SO Best Australian Mopar Engine +Best South African Mopar and slant six flexplate +best US Mopar transmission...maybe best of breed..
