straight 6 Hemi, anyone run one?

just out of curiousity is anyone running a straight 6 mopar hemi...?

 

just out of curiosity, does such a thing even exist?

 

I saw one in a "hot rod" in Modesto area. It's an Aussie motor, from their Valiant Chargers and stuff...

Yes, i ran one of those Aussie Hemis in a Ford Capri dirt track car for a while. It went like stink.

 

On a typical Hemi,the spark plug in in the middle of
the rocker cover,not off to one side like the pic.

 

The valve & spark plug arraingment are the same as other 6s.

 

I ran across this Chevy v6 hemi,fwd motor used in rwd setup.

 

I am going to run a 4cyl hemi in my track t. And yes, one exists!

 

I'm running an inline six "Cleveland". Alloy head, canted valve Ford.

 

Mustang 6

would you be so kind as to share more info and pics on that setup?

never seen that before.

sport bike carbs?

tell us more!

 

atleast one of the guys from down under must have one...

 

The way I understand it, is that the inline 6 hemi was a 265 block with modified(factory) heads from a slant 6. basically, rounded out the combustion chanber.

 

hmm, might be cheaper to buy a head rather than have a complete engine shipped from oz, if that is the case.

 

I've heard rumors that 300 HP is easily within reach with the Aussie motor...

 

The 265 Hemi is a killer engine....from memory it was a discarded block design from Chrysler US...and Chrysler Aus picked it up and ran with it ....300hp from a 265 is simple...as in ...built to E49 specs you are there already....they will push 400hp with out much problem....and there is a Aus. company that offers an alloy head for them ....and 450hp+ is on tap as well ....they dominated circuit racing here in the 70's...with hardly any mods at all....here's a site to have a look at... http://home.iprimus.com.au/lsd265/hemi_6.htm ...
I have one tucked away for a 6 pack FED

 

Guys Ive ran a few in my 71 Charger and they are very strong performers. These engines are not a true Hemi, but rather a semi - Hemi combustion chamber design.

Chrysler Australia marketed the term Hemi as a revlutionary advance in tech in 1970 - 6 years after the real Hemis debuted in street cars in the USA.

They do have a few weaknesses though like oil pumps and hey have a lot of torsional vibration (dont ask me how I know hehe) and they dont like real high rpm but other than that they are tuff as nails.

The guys that produce the aluminium heads are called Cylinder Head Innovations - the company is owned by a long time friend.

Me? I graduated to stroker MoPar small blocks and Flatheads.

hey guys,

i ran a tired one in a 46 dodge ute, and it moved that heap of shit very very quickly.

if you are looking for info, try searching for the Mopar Market, its basically like a mopar (and especially hemi 6) hamb.

Here's a few pics of one...

Can that head be worked over to fit on a 225 slant six???
