. . . hot rods! Visited my brother-in-law Warren's shop yesterday. Lotsa cool stuff goin' on. 1970 Challenger, just back from painting. Yup, Plum Crazy! This build gets a big-block Six-Pack motor....  

In my craziest dreams ( one of my specialities ), I would love to do such a job on my Volvo P 1800E.... Impressive. Best, Nicolas

. . . an exclusive clientele ;-) . . .

. . . in for some updates. Warren finished this one years ago, but the owner wanted some additional touches. (That's my brother in the background.) Large displacement Chevy small block built with a 4" stroker crank . . . . . . and Hilborn injetors. These ...  

I've been a fan of the Nomad design since I saw one about a year ago. The front of the car just looks up at you with its convincing headlight-eyes like a loyal dog. Nice pic and nice work!

Here in Australia, the 'Six-Pack' name refers to the triple 45mm DCOE Webers fitted to various versions of the Chrysler Valiant Charger R/T. The engine was a 265ci in-line six cylinder. In its ultimate version, (the E49, which has special cranks, cams, ba...  

. . . for the Slant Six . . . . . . which formed the basis for Australia's incarnation, if memory serves correct. ...  

Thanks for posting. Just for you; a couple of rather dusty '68(?) Charger R/Ts that reside in a nearby workshop. ...  

. . . and the one to the left is a '68, same as the Charger that hunted, and in turn hunted by, Steve McQueen in Bullitt .

I can never recall whether they gained or lost the bumper on the later models, the Bullitt reference is a good way to remember. Back to the Chrysler Valiant Six, as I understand it, the engine was designed in Highland Park as a replacement for the Slant-S...
