Hey guy's,

I know that the Slant 6 has a huge following in the USA however have any of you heard of the 245/265 C.I "HEMI" sixes that were developed in Australia?
When they were released in 1970 they were 18kg lighter and around 40% more powerful than the 225 that we had out here.
The following year they came out in our Charger complete with triple 45mil Webers and in a 1750kg car ran 14.1's.
(I know that those numbers probably equate to your slowest muscle car of the era however it did out accelerate it's competitors namely the 350 and 351 in similair sized cars).
I would love to see a 265 in a Duster/Dart as it would certainly be an easy conversion (namely where a slant resides,a 265 will slip right in!)-add turbo/blower/injection and you could honestly see low 12's,high elevens etc with reliability thrown in.
Hope I've got you guy's thinking!
