Well, I finally went through all the spare parts that came over in the container with John's Daytona, and thought I would post a few pics for those that might be a little curious about the Aussie stuff for what ever reason

Here is an Aussie K frame for the hemi...as you can see, no steering box mounts! (it mounts to the K frame, the engine mounts are tied to it with a piece of wire on the corner)


Here are a couple of pics of what a 265 hemi short engine looks like..



A hemi starter motor...looks sort of like a "real" hemi one huh?



Here are some intake/exhaust manifolds for a standard 2bbl set-up... note in the second one the cool dual outlet exhaust manifold !



Here is a pic of a modified small block 904 case to suit the hemi, as you can see, thier bolt patterns are close, you just have to add a few holes..


And finally, a head shot..


Hope these might have been a teenie bit of interest to a few folks..just something different! Oh, and I got some spare door handles and such, and the part #'s all start with an "A", must be to denote Australian maybe?

You are getting quite a collection of stuff, might not have room to move soon..

Cool stuff Oz!
Pretty easy to ID that block with the big 265 cast into the side of it!
Any more goodys to show us?
How 'bout a pic of the chamber on that head?

Here you go


And a after pic from the head FastOne is doing for me..



By the way Beeper..keep an eye out at the shop for mail in a couple days

Very intresting, thanks for sharing the pics Oz. Where aluminum versions offered like the slants? Wish they where offered here in the US!

Nope, no aluminum blocks out there, all though that would have been kind of cool (not sure how strong though? the hemi uses 7 main bearings as well!)

Cool.........

Thanks Oz...

Can you get a Aussie set of lower ball joints for an A body. I hear they have shorter steering arms.

I was hoping that the "stuff" pic's where going to be beer.

Holding out on us Jeff

HaHa "265 hemi short engine".....yeah....2 cylinders short.

TR: And your nomination for a pre 1984 in line 6 cyl engine that does 14.0 flat from the factory would be??????????????????

You Aussie's are funny....calling a straight 6 a Hemi....so would my V8 be considered a V10 over there?

More a hemi than a 440

They shine up ok too

That's pretty, and a little scary

It looks like I'm going to be attacked by 6 little smiley's

Nice job on the head!!

Oz...Stop teasing me!!!

Dang, them look nice!!!

265 has 3.91 inch bore & 3.68 stroke, 1.96 intake valves, 1.60 exhaust valves

245 has 3.76 inch bore & 3.68 stroke, 1.845 intake valves, 1.50 exhaust valves

215 has 3.52 inch bore X 3.68 stroke

Oops! almost forgot, the head in the picture is a 245 head taken out to the max with Chevy 11/32 stem 2.00 (2.02 milled down) nailhead race valves & 1.60 Chevy exhaust
