The Australians had their own 6 cylinder. Known as the "Hemi Six".

So when they talk about a Hemi Chrysler over there they are normally talking about a 6 cylinder.

Basic standard 265 inline six orginally 2 barrel now with webers
these have given me a much more drivable street car with a great sound gobs more torque and it now runs much much cooler
nout much else but i'm still running the shopping cam and a press bent header bodged into a 2 inch exhaust system

come as standard with 1.96 inch inlet valves 1.6? exhaust and 1.7:1 ratio rockers.....

spent ages at the line spinning 1 wheel which i think you can hear

couldn't hear what was going on cos of that truck

think i did about 17.4

best for weekend was 16.6

i.e 2- 3 tenths slower than last year

with the E49 race motor and a decent driver 3.5:1 rear end and no worries about busting it these do a 14 second 1/4 off the dealer forcourt on crossplies the cars weighed about the same as a modern mini i.e 1280KG - 1350KG
modern tyres an a devil may care attitude to gearbox bustage gets you into a 13 second 1/4 properly


my escapades at the weekend showed up that my car needs work to rear end the spring eye bushes are shot
needs a sure grip
needs a new clutch
bigger wheels and better tyres
need to dump the 2.92:1 rear gears and fit a modern 3.45:1 or 3.89:1 set out of an aussie commodore, morgan or Camaro IROC Z as most 3.23 3.5 and 3.9 chrylser and ford sets are old style small bolt ring gears and kinda worn as none made since 1970s

a bigger set of balls and the confidnce of a spare gearbox (hopefully coming soon) wil also help



front end was completely out of alignment by the end of the weekend as well....tsk

derek

I'd forgotten about the camera until Mr Pearson jnr chased me down to ask for it back.....a small fight ensued and he nicked off with his camra and my wallet on the smallest bike you've ever seen

so i put out his spokes

Dave

Lovely hat.

Suits you sir.

Perhaps you could bring the TV175 next year and I'll root about in the shed and see if I can find that Wal Phillips injector

i could have this year its been in bits since 1998

few boxes in the back seat jobs a goodun

Dave

For those interested,camera is GoPro hero2 motorsports edition as used by Ken Block in his drifting antics. WiFi and full remote control meant Dave had no buttons to press.

couldn't have managed that

the range of movement in my shoulders is very poor

although my wrist is ok

Dave

Was that hat SFI approved Dave?

got a steel hub and the latest elastomeric technology.... it allows me to really build HP like...well......most things on summits website

no way will it leave my head and fire through the roof no matter how hard i rev it.....although i wouldn't trust its timing marks after an over rev it might have slipped

mind it is press fit..so i might be on dodgey ground if i entered a properly sanctioned event...... depends on if i can distrct the scrutineer by showing him my sump when he wasn't expecting it


Dave

Like the "avoid that" as you drive round the bleaches

Great camera work. Love it Dave.
