Aussie Hemi 265 inline 6, I've heard stories of them being driven from Adelaide to Melbourne with no water in the radiator. Performance models were 302bhp from factory.
Yeah, a real neat engine. We only got them until 1969 here in NZ. They were replaced with an upright 'hemi' 6. The joke used to be 'those slopers were so good, the had to stand them up to wear them out' 🙂
Holden greys and reds were mini copies of chevy motors- and were garbage. Holden sixes are why yella terra heads made so much money. Never heard of yella terra making any parts for Hemi sixes- they were built to breathe, you literally cannot put bigger valves in a 265 they are so big from standard.
@rossbrumby1957 nah the red motors had better cooling than Chevys (they still overheated though) and you can get them to move pretty good. I'm putting a either a 202 or 179 in my HD with a 2 bbl carb and it'll be a pretty good motor once it's finished, also I've seen blue motors with shattered pistons still running so they are definitely tough things. But hemi 6s are unmatched, have one in my CL
My father had a 1966 Ford Falcon with an inline 6 and three on the tree back in the 80s that he used to commute to work. He could get mid 20s mpg. Super easy to work on.
I own a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sports with the 4.0 inline 6 with 353800 miles and still going strong . And it's only 2 wheel drive, and I'm always out in the mountains camping 😊😋😀😂😃😎💕💕
I once owned a '67 Chevy C-10 panel wagon that had the L6 250 w/manual 3 speed. Bought it for $500 in 1979 at a small used car lot. Was in great condition with a Green Rust-Oleum paint job and the entire rear compartment covered with a quality indoor-outdoor nylon carpeting. Had 34,000 on the OD so was assumed it had 134K. Got it cheap because nobody could shift it into any gear. I looked at the 3 on the tree linkage inside the engine compartment to to find wear had worn slots into the shift rods due to a lack of lubrication. I bought it then returned with a tub of axle grease. I slathered that onto the linkage and learned how to finesse it into the gears before driving it home. Met the original owner a few months later to be told that the engine had 234,000 miles of use, a new clutch assembly and u-joints. It was a heavy 1/2 ton with 8 lug wheels. It would get 24 mpg loaded down when doing 55 to 65 mph. I put another 65,000 on the OD before it got totaled in a head-on collision. I currently drive an '88 Chevy G30 work van with 300,000 miles on the original 5.7L and TH400. I wouldn't mind setting a rebuilt 292 L6 with a rebuilt 700R4 and different ring & pinion in it to get better gas mileage and easier access to the engine. Been driving the van since 1994 so have become attached to it.
I had a Wrangler Jeep with this 6 cil legendary 4.0 lt engine, I bought the car new 1.4.1996 at Emil Frei in Zürich Switzerland, have done 350`000 km with cero issue, I still love this Jeep, best car I ever had, swapped the Wrangler Jeep 4.0 for a G wagon 300 GSE SWB ( uncommon luxury version only 2 diff locks ( middle & rear no front lock ) with the M103 125 kW power, 6 cylinder 3 liter petrol engine, on the G wagon M103 ( also legendary engine ) until now 270`000 km with no issue, soft like a cat 🚙🪕⛑🧸🚁🛩 pilot greatings Erik
@@brianclark2119they were understressed is why they lasted. 4 main bearings do not make for a strong engine. The introduction of the Hemi six in Aussie Valiants showed the slant up to look heavy, thirsty, low powered and hard to work on.
Both great! Still driving one of each. Actually, The 225 is too powerful to operate a peak efficiency in an ordinary car, but boy will it haul when loaded. The 170 is just right for two people in a convertible.
At 8:20 - Keep up with oil changes, especially in dusty conditions???? Isn't the crankcase a closed system? If you're getting dust in your crankcase maybe check to see if your filler cap is in place!
The AMC six in older variants, 199, 232 and 258 cid engines along with the chrysler slant 6 were used in taxis in the sixties and racked up over 1,000,000 miles without a major engine component failure. We are not talking about water pumps and things like alternators and starters. The major cause of failure in cause back then was not engines, but bodies, transmissions and frames. Most engines back then long outlived the cars they were installed in.
Their mistake in the U.S. was to not replace it with the Hemi six they designed but passed off to Chrysler Australia. From 1970 we dropped the 225 for the 245 Hemi, followed by a 215 and 265ci in 1971. 7 main bearings, 12 port, huge valves. More power, more economy and at the same time. Easier to work on than the slant to boot.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
The early ford had a weak oil pump. Normally around 120,000 miles the oil pump would fail. Drop the pan and put a new pump in it and run it another 300,000! Not a ford guy, but the 300 is number 1!
What lucky people you are being able to afford vehicles with six cylinder engines, come back to the real world where a two liter four cylinder engine is a big one!

170 slant was just as good as the 225. Best 6 ever

Chevrolet 350,4.1engine much more durable in its rime
Yes, it was just as tough. It just didn't have much power
I have a 1979 F150 with a 300 CI 6 cylinder with 245,000 miles. I bought the truck in October of 1978, 46 years ago. The motor runs great to this day.
Literally any Aussie built straight 6. Our 6 cylinders are absolutely bulletproof

The chevy stovebolt inline 6s the 250 230 and 199

The Ford i6 300 was so long lasting Ford had to stop making it.

170 and 225 Dodge was one of best engine built. I worked for Chrysler for 19 years and only rebuilt 2 of them
.
I have to agree those 225 " side hill badgers" were tough.

I’ve got the 6.9 Cummins in my 94 3500 Dodge Ram. With 223,000 miles it will outlast me, several paint jobs, and future owners after I’m gone.

I HAD A JEEP 4 LITER.
A FORD. 300
A PLYMOUTH 225
ALL GREAT LONG MILERS NO PROBLEM WITH THOSE THAT IS WHY THE CAR COMPANIES STOPPED THEM
There was 3 sizes of the slant 6 Chrysler. 170,194 and 225. Chrysler's mistake was, not making a300!

I had an XP Falcon that had done a logged 600000 miles and still on the original motor, had no been rebuilt.
The Barra is defo the one to beat. In LPG and unleaded fuels. Some taxis are known to travel over 700k
I can vouch for the M103, 225 Slant six and the ford 300.
I had a 1964 dodge D-100 truck with a 225 slant 6. extremely durable and reliable. It was stolen.
The Ford 250 cubic 6 cylinder xy Long lasting and used in taxi had plenty of torque was good at high mid to high and borg warner 35box Auto
You are right Paul, they were a great engine. I am kinda fond of the intech now days. Such a simple honest horse and the father of the Barra 🙂
22R is a killer that I would put up against anything on this list.
Inline 6 22R?
The early ford had a weak oil pump. Normally around 120,000 miles the oil pump would fail. Drop the pan and put a new pump in it and run it another 300,000! Not a ford guy, but the 300 is number 1!
Ford 300! Mustang! Glenn
Strange that the customers in the US always get screwed with junk products and never see the realy good stuff...!
I thought it was Australia and got the junk
Dipstick
We have many excellent engines in the US, not sure where you got your onfo
dont forget the TB48 nissan engine
I miss the OM606 from Mercedes
my friends sister had a Valent and YOU TRY TO CHANGE THE POINTS the shock tower in the way
We didnt have that problem in Australia after 1970- Hemi six introduced and sat up straight with all the room in the world both sides.
@@rossbrumby1957 lucky
Landcruiser 1HZ and
1HD- FT were superior to the 1HDT and F series engines
What lucky people you are being able to afford vehicles with six cylinder engines, come back to the real world where a two liter four cylinder engine is a big one!
Where are all diesel engines?
Why no Xk Jag
I've had 2 XJ40's with the AJ6 motors and they were faultless mechanically. Very strongly built, clean quiet motors.
Jaaaaag
I seen to many Fram filters, get that junk off these engines .
