Hi people ,
I have a 186 3 on tree HT on gas and she is a bit of a slug ;-(
I am thinking 253 maybee for a bit of torque and still reasonable economy ( its my daily driver ) , so will a 253 with v8 3 speed manual box( from a Hz or such ) go in without too much drama ?
What would i need for a conversion ?
Thanks for your good advice
Ant

well, if you fussed bout mileage and cost of conversion etc, leave the HT as it is then and buy a cheap little run around for everyday use, gunna work out cheaper and easier in the long run "Reputations are made and broken as soon as you enter or leave my shed.."

Hey Frank ,Balls ? Does it get any better than Big Block Chrysler except for a Hemi ? My daily driver now is a 1966 Chrysler 300 with a 440 in it (Jet-440). Bog Stock its still 360HP ,and a Chrysler 300L with a Factory Hi-po 413 also here in 2 weeks .Why would i need to beef up the van ?  www.monaromuscleparts.comEdited by user Friday, 5 March 2010 10:04:01 AM(UTC)

Who needs styling whem you could order a Hemi 426!
Anthony, a HT/G 253 or 308 (or any 253 or trimatic pattern 308 with HT/G sump and pickup) will bolt straight in where the 186 is. You just have to change the 6cyl 3 speed out for a V8 one. Or pull the 6cyl box out and put a bearing kit through it, except put it back together with a V8 3spd input shaft and input shaft cover. Youll also need a HQ-mid HZ V8 bellhousing, clutch kit, etc. There is also some differences between the V8 and 6cyl 3spd clutch linkage setup. Ill have a look later when I have a bit more time and tell you which bits you need. Lastly itd be a good idea to get a V8 tailshaft and V8 diff centre, or change the yoke on the 6cyl diff for a V8 one. I think I have a new V8 3spd input shaft and 2nd hand cover here somewhere, the input shaft is a later vesrion with the neoprene seal and wont leak on hills like the early scroll seal style. Greg at ClassicOzWreck would have most of the other bits.

Thanks Itch i dont want to stereotype so i will leave your comment alone . But if you can get my point , some people drink cheap alcohol because they dont know the difference , its the same with cars. Open your eyes up and you may see something better than a hotted up Monaro in your midst. www.monaromuscleparts.com

Thats one action vehicle Frank , think it might blow my doors off by a bit ! The car from certain angles look a bit weird and ugly , but in real life it blows people away with its Jet like looks . Its not a case of too much time ,its a couple of clicks on the computer to hit the buy it now , a quick email to my importer and wait 6 weeks . Its easier than buying a car from 3 suburbs away now Frank , and you get to have something no one else has. (or wants in some people minds !!!) www.monaromuscleparts.com

I must disagree as quite often they got the styling spot on. Like all Americans they did get a few wrong though.
Vandals and graffiti "artists" do everyone a favour and target parking meters and fixed speed cameras only. |
