    Dual vs. single plane slant intake and other build questions

    And would you know it busy being 3 D scanned - the plenum on this thing is quite interesting, with the dividers going deep in to plenum - plenum is from flat side to flatside - outlined in red - blue more or less indicates dividers

    That price is par for the course - 45dcoe's are horrendously expensive - the price works out to what we will pay for the carb's only over here in RSA. That said 45's is way to big they flow ~ 2100cfm in total - above what a street slant can handle. a 265 Hemi 6 e37 -e49 spec use that combo to...

    Removing Fan

    Sorry to say but the statement "pull almost no air at idle" is way off Modern cars mostly have transversally installed engines - and that makes an electric fan a must . My installation(s) have a pusher fan to help with heatsoak once switched off here in the South African Karoo (hot high...

    Hi Guys - didn't disappear, nearly died - had a bit of a crash with my Jetta........ OK My hemi is hooked onto the TF904 - the engineering works cross bolted and then welded two side of lugs ala FUGLY to the outside of the stock LA mounting positions, then measured and machined new dowl holes...

    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...

    Sorry to revisit an old debate but...

    Keep what you have, install your headers and get it to a specialist who can dyno tune it for you - I am was running a simmilar setup in my 68 barracuda, and was doing 10 - 12l/100km before it died

    Valve lash

    Lash to small compression to high? - nonsense - the opposite might be true - please note might if you a running very high cr and even then it does not make sense as a statement - increasing the lash will decrease your overlap and effective lift - increasing torque BTW - due to an increase in...

    slant to 265 hemi

    The reason to leave the K memeber in if the car is LHD is that LHD to RHD have different control arms & ball joint so it isn't just a straight swap so is easier to just mod the mount. Actually For Australia and south Africa and Australia balljoints never changed - and locally we buy all our...

    Oversized valves: good or bad?

    One thing everyone just have to keep in mind - the stock induction , head and exhaust system was designed for the 170cid slant when they stroked it to 225 they changed the jetting and that was about it the 1.7/1.44 inch valve sets is what the 225 needs to breathe if you combine it with a decent...

    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...

    after a lot of head-scratching I have decided to be Patient and wait for the correct car to pitch - in between I will fire up the Hemi from time to time to keep the fluids circulating 2 ideas: The Ute - called a rustler overhere

    Nope Brett it is either going into a VH Ute Truck or a hemi Pacer Clone.....Had this wild idea of fitting it to my 68cuda - and it is virtually a bolt in conversion thanks to your K-member! Hemi Performance - avoid like the plague
