The "Slant Hemi" is neither a Slant nor a Hemi. It is a wedge head motor. Hemi is just a marketing ploy to make you believe it is actually something other than an old truck motor.

in the US,probably. but in this country not so rare as you might think.there are thousands of hemi sixes and a good percentage of 'em have been worked on to produce 300 plus HP.
me? I will stick to my smooth and trusty 'ole slant. those rattly hemis are not my bag.
These motors are available in the US. If you go to www.slantsix.org and look for a guy who goes by OZHEMI, I am pretty sure he lives in San Francisco. He has them imported from Austrailia. He quoted me $1000.00 - $1500.00 for one. He would be the guy to get a hold of!
