It's actually a 4.3litre engine and revs it to 7800rpm

I had a 265,4inch bore 120 thou strokes crank it reved over 8500,unbeaten on the street in the early 90s

@@colinmunro7337 how much hp, did u ever run on the 1/4 mile

@@mounzerm it was a full time street racer went to the drags had 1 run went 13.0 at 110mph backing off.i racedmand beat legit 11 sec cars on the street by car lengths,with a built auto and converter it was a stock 904 and 273 converter I sure it would have gone low 11s,ps it was in an lc horrid with 14 inch of engine set back😍

@@colinmunro7337 do u have any footage of the beast or pics? Also, can i ask, how were u able to achieve so much power, wat sort of modifications did u do to it. Wish u had it around today, sounds like a genuine beast.

Remember, these cars don't have high ratio steering like modern cars...with no power steering, you need to have more turns lock to lock if you're going to have the strength to steer at all - 4 complete turns lock to lock (or more) was common back when. Also, high sidewalls means there's a fair bit of squirm when the steering wheel moves and it takes a moment for the tread to catch up. that's why you'll see him wind on some lock, hold it steady for a moment...and _then_ the car suddenly starts to corner a little too sharply and he has to catch it as it begins to slide. :-)

Old Mopar saying, if you can't swing it don't bring it🙂

@@gregmarsden2009Thats what she said.

More like an Alfa v6 at high revs

Agreed, I would settle for a 340 but /6's from AU are so fucking cool

They came from unwanted truck engines there fellas, surely there's some old ones not completely rusted..were really good at doing great things with unwanted American parts, look at our Falcons..

I had the best of both worlds when I was a kid - my first car was a VG Pacer hardtop ('68 Dodge Dart body) with the 245 Hemi 6 and 3 on the floor. So the engine def fits, but I can't say whether the front cross member was identical to its US brethren or not. Cheers!

the slant block blew apart after making 370hp and revving to 7500rpm. he replaced it with a 265 hemi which makes 500hp and can handle the rpm a little better.

It was repurposed as a boat anchor

Before the 265, it had a 245, 4.0litre making 470-480hp

E55 introduced in the VH Charger 1971

VE Valiant was Wheels "Car of the Year" in 1967 - the first for Chrysler Australia. That 340 motor was special. I had a 66' v8 vc safari wagon. I ended up slotting a good 318 fireball in it and later a worked 360. In amongst many other valiants. They were cheap. But when the green light dropped the bullshit stopped. That's why i liked them. They were fun cars.

I had a E38 A84 track pack big tank RT charger, I bought it of a young mopar mechanic in Gippsland Victoria in late 80s, he had put a VJ e55 340 “in it. I ended up buying the original Weber 6 pack engine to put it back in to make it original. Unfortunately I never had the money to do at sold the car for what I bought it for $5000 Aus 😩😩😩😩

Apparently Chrysler did test a VF with a 340... but were committed to the 6 as that's where they saw their market.

Nah. Look up a BMW M1 Pro Car. That sounds exactly like a McLaren F1.

You did get it, you got the 245 cubic inch, 4.0litre version. Australia increased the cubic capacity to 265 litres.

@@mounzerm I thought we only got the 198 c.i. and 225 c.i. Slant Sixes. I never thought we got the Hemi-6 AT ALL. What car(s) was it in ?

@@williamg2552 it was originally designed as a truck engine for dodge. Australia then pioneered it against the advice of American engineers.

I read it was supposed to be a truck motor

@@williamg2552 correct America and South Africa never got the Hemi six

Regardless, a very easy fix.

@@mounzerm it was not an easy fix at all, it sent Chrysler to the brink of bankruptcy , new car valiant owners having bought a family sedan ended up with a destroyed engine after only 50 thousand or less kilometers due to no oil pressure, all from the camshaft moving that far forward, it caused engines to have little to no oil pressure, how was it an easy fix when owners needed a full rebuild, low mileage new car engines that were stuffed, under warranty Chrysler replaced over 700 engines at eastside Chrysler from 1972 to 1977 in victoria alone , where my dad worked in the service department , Chrysler would have replaced thousands of engines aust wide at a cost of millions, SO ITS A EASY FIX, YEA RIGHT

are you kidding, many engines lost all oil pressure and blew up, thousands of warranty claims, its a dudd truck engine, lucky to rev past 6000rpm @@mounzerm

@volksdeutschewaffenss9670 again, did u watch the above video and all the other racing chargers in nc category, also drag racing hemi 6's like I said, "simple easy fix "

its not a easy fix, i checked out this engine years ago when it was being rebuilt at crankshaft re builders, tilly spend loads of money on the dizzy drive to stop its gear falling off, the block had a hole bored in it to accept an extended dizzy drive shaft, the extended shaft run on needle roller bearings pressed into the block, this was done to help support camshaft, the little 202 holdens cost less to build and win more races, HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY HARDLY ANY ONE RACES VAIANTS

Rubbish charger best handling of the era

@@petergiourelas3753 brakes not good though.

Yep. The ol hardtop (VF and VG coupes) handles better .... More balanced

Did you see Cameron won Bathurst ? Mr Wafflen

@@harmony01ful not one valiant from the factory race team or privateer driven chariot ever won bathurst, pacers or chargers late 1960s to early 1970s, never even won a major touring car race or title, i am talking factory touring cars of the 1970s, not todays 2022 highly modified sports sedans that bare little to a factory driven 1970s chariot touring car , nice try but the valiant history remains the same, and thats a JOKE

Big difference is the og cars were 3 speeds even the e38,touring car masters is diffrent

Flog

@@petergiourelas3753 yes peter how right you are, the charger and pacer engines were flogs, the 245-265 hemi engine was junk, the camshaft had no retainer plate so the camshaft floated back and forth chewing up the oil pump gear and its timing cover, Chrysler engineers put out a service bulletin to all dealers to drill a hole in timing the cover, then weld on a nut and then screw in a bolt and adjust camshaft end float, Chrysler had so many cars 215-245-265 engines returned under warranty, engines that sounded like cement mixes, camshaft floating flogging chewing out metal swarf though out the whole engine, INDEED THE ENGINE WAS A FLOG , NO WOUNDER VALIANT CLOSED PRODUCTION DOWN WENT BROKE EARLY 1980S, the 215-245-265 was indeed a flog

@@petergiourelas3753 valiants had no street cred in the 1970s 80s, they were a laughing stock by holden and ford drivers alike, most valiant chariots had custom velour interior with small pom poms all around the windows, a black fuzzy dice and a fox tail hanging off the Ariel, they were wog chariots, black vinal roof,wog mama dressed all in black, total shitboxs

@@petergiourelas37531972 vh 770 charger even had an Italian flag badge, peter just look at a vh 770 charger rear 770 badge above the rear bumper, its the Italian flag, can you now under stand why wogs bought them, why they were called wog chariots, i hope that helps you understand where the chariot wog bus, Fitzroy Ferrari came about

Actually your quite mistaken. The blue val is above middle position and higher in all its races. Surprisingly, it is very competitive on tracks that have more twist and turns rather than those with long straights. In the race above, i believe if i am not mistaken, this race was at bathurst which boasted some 20 cars from New Zealand running in touring car masters giving a finally tally of 40 carz or so. I believe Cameron may finished as high as 17th in his blue. Not bad in my books for a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder up against 700+ hp vehicles.

@@mounzerm looks like there's stacks of cars in front of the val i dont think the fields that big, i agree with you why even bother racing a slow 265 valiant lucky to make 500 hp against 700hp cars, the chrysler factory team never did any good either and soon realised they were flogging a dead horse and shut down the race team after only a few years. if i,m not mistaken the owner of the slow val realised his mistake and ditched the 265 for a more competitive nascar spec v8 from the states, the owner stated he wants to WIN races, not just make up the field with the SLOW 265 val

These engines (E49s) were big winners on New Zealands tight tracks, Phase 3 Falcons never won here!

@@dazmac159 sorry but in australia when matched in oz against proper factory backed competition from holden and ford , the pacer and , rt38-49 never won a major touring car race, sandown or bathurst, or any touring car titles, in fact 186-202 holden beat rts 38-49 at sandown and bathurst in 71-72 after that chrysler gave up and withdrew from motor sport i am aware chrysler charger did well in NZ for number of years till i think mid 70s but that was against second rate compition , no factory backed fords or holden teams or name drivers , just amature drivers and teams, please check oz bathurst sandown touring car title , or even manufacturers manchamp records for chryslers race records you will find no wins , slow lap times, that's why chrysler pulled the pin

@@volksdeutschewaffenss9670 Yes good info, I am aware of the Aus stats though was refiring to NZ.

This 265 makes more than your ss and would flog it. All noise and nothing else indeed.

@@dinosshed sorry but a 265 won't even beat a 202, you must be another brainwashed chariot owner, even the slow 202 was faster at bathurst and won in 1972, yea flogged by a 202, 265 all noise and no go ha ha ha, charger rt 265 the fitzroy ferrari

I part own an fj sedan which has a 186 block, ea falcon crank, Datsun 180b rods and vw air cooled pistons. It’s limited to 9,100 because it snaps camshafts above that. Has spun much higher. A standard 202 vs a std 265, there is no contest, the 202 will get spanked. Your comments show an obvious lack of knowledge.

@@dinosshed you own a boat anchor my friend, ford cranks in holden 186 engines is nothing new, in the 1970s a ford 221 crank with a 186 rear crank flange was welded on the ass, what a boat anchor it was , whats next , your just fitted triple 2inch SUs and vw barrels, i suggest instead of messing with old junk that breaks down, is to buy a late model power plant , you will be amazed , smooth running, power 800hp turn key , factory warranty, no cam breaking , and feel REAL POWER, not some 186 with vw rods and pistons you crack me up ha ha ha please show me where the 265 beat a 202 at bathurst , or any major touring car title race, you won't find any because the 202 spanked your 265, the results don't lie, educate your self and look it up , i,m still laughing a fj with vw rods and pistons, no wounder it breaks down hahaaaaaaaaaa
