You got my support too, Bill. I've always agreed with you that it's the most cost effective way. I just get tired of READIN about it everywhere. LMAO

You know I'm messin' with you.

You KNOW how us missionaries are. Mr. Merritt... LOL!

We don't know when to stop.... LOL!

This is super interesting! Any info re. Aussie 265? My team is planning a nostalgia altered with an inline. We don't want a Ford or Chevy, these are done all day. Looking at an AMC 282 Mexican I6 from the 70's. Any ideas?? Thanks!

Call me stupid, but if I was doin something like that, I would go with the 300 Ford. No substitute for cubic inches.

Someone was crazy enough to have Alan Johnson,do a full billet 300 ford 6 head,for sportsman racing.It's not on the website anymore,but a few do exist.Saw it on the website,two years ago.

Dammit man. ...and they put those motors in the DEAD RIGHT applications too. Trucks and vans. Like I have said many times, I could be a Ford guy real easy. Hell, I still pine to build another small block Pinto.

That is true... except the NHRA classes that dictate that a class has a specified amount of weight per cubic inch.

Like, say a BB/A T... Blown B Altered/turbo)

I don't remember the weight break (and am too lazy to go look it up, but for this discussion, it's unimportant) let's say it is 7 pounds per cubic inch:

The 170 slant six will have to weigh (7 X 170) 1,190 pounds.
The 300-inch Ford Six will have to weigh (7 X 300) 2,100 pounds.

With the Ford carrying over 900 pounds more weight than the MOPAR, which one do you think will win?

In this case, engine efficiency is the substitute for cubic inches...:cheers:


No way will that Ford ever match that 170 in a per-cubic-inch basis because the little 170 can probably stand 40 pounds of boost. Try that with the Ford and I'd bet it would blow sky high!

Just my 2-cents....

It is possible to get 400hp from the aussie 265 Hemi, and rev it to 7,000 rpm.....even more.

the above are some seriously powerful Hemi 6 cylinders.... DAMN!

Impressive none-the-less tho, I'd like to see what a 245 would do set up like that??? If it be even possible!!!!
