I've done loads and loads of research and Hughes Engines seem really really good on the cam and rocker side of things.
Jegs have a great aluminium radiator and electric fan setup for around 320 bucks

Cool, my dad is from Albany. I have a Charger: it's the second time I have brought it to South Africa as I can't separate myself from it. Great looking Val mate!
They are a fastback A-body and weighed 3010 lbs.
Mainly came with a Hemi 265 (an all Australian straight six engine based on a US truck engine), the best version of which was the e49 six pack which had 3x45mm dual throat side draft webbers producing 302bhp straight off the showroom floor...
I just bought mine to South Africa, also a rebuild, total rebuild, yeesh!
Nice ride. The 71's actually work-thought at one stage they'd be too big.
I had 16' TS wheels but am going to go 17 now.
Whats the deal with the gilmer, how does it handle????
Hey Nemesis.
I'm an actor and artist but I was training as a travel agent in Melbourne to make some cash. I have become tired of being ripped off by mechanics who also don't do their job properly and have decided to do everything possible by myself now. Living in Bondi sort of rotted a small...
If I had the moolah I would do what these guys are doing!

spread the word-they are amazing cars.
The history is that they were designed to take on Ford and GMHolden within 18m months on a 2 million...
Hey Nemesis,
I'm all the way in sweltering Sydney-41 degrees today. The Charger is in pieces. I'm going to respray it and have torn everything out. Was just in Melbourne a month ago. What a cool cool city. In regards to the XB-I bought it from this schmuck who had it on ebay. Like a total...
Thanks BBDart. Great quote.
I tried my hand at this too even though it's not a Mopar, but also Aussie-73 Falcon GT replica. I had the idea of restoring cars. That didn't work out well :
The factory R/T versions were a straight 6 Hemi 265 with a 6 pack and did the 1/4 in 14.4 secs. 0-60 was 6 seconds. The worlds quickest 6 cylinder at the time with 302 bhp. www.aussiecoupes.com/charger.html
Hey everyone! Since I hadn't yet put up any pics of the old Val I decided to today. This car was bought in Australia and went back to Cape Town, South Africa with me for about 3 years, then back to Sydney where it lived in the salt near Bondi Beach. That was a mistake! So she's getting cleaned...
