very nicely restored car though a few things he should look at correcting is the radiator support panel, it's supposed to be black, you see it poking out from under the front roll pan and messes up the look a bit and the exhaust is missing the front joining muffler which worked a bit like a x or h pipe and smoothed out the exhaust note and the lower sill panel joins are normally painted black to hide that which tends to look a bit jagged and messy.

I grew up with these things - and it's definitely a reference to having 6 carb throats (using three 2-bbl carb) - same as with all Chrysler products with this carb setup throughout the world, no matter whether they were inline 6s or V8s. They even trademarked the term for this setup. If it was a reference to the cylinders, virtually all Chargers would have been called 6-packs. www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1971-DODGE-MODELS-440-SIX-PACK-AIR-CLEANER-DECAL-Mopar-NEW-/201529506776 Unless someone can convince me Chrysler had a 440 magnum inline 6 at some point. @Thomas West They used the inline 6 for racing because it was better - tests with the 340 by Leo Geoghegan showed the engine as too heavy and it made the car understeer very badly - and the V8 and slushbox combo wasn't offered with triple carbs in Australia, so no sticker and stripe on the V8 cars. But the V8 was offered in the US with a 6-pack - using three 2-bbl carbs. With 6-pack stickers and stripes.

The power output per litre of the 6-pack was close to that of a lamborghini engine of the period - 302hp from 4.3 litres. Except it was a more usable engine at lower revs and used alot less fuel!

Sorry to burst your bubble on this, but my father was involved with building them, & 6 pack had nothing to do with the carbies. Now you've been corrected by the son of a person who helped bring these to reality. The 6 pack is the engine, meaning number of cylinders, not number of venturi feeding it. The V-8 variants were given different terminology, such as Magnum, Fireball, or Elephant engine. You need to remember these cars were Australian built. The engines were made in the foundry at Lonsdale, whilst the rest was built at Tonsley Park. During this time, my father worked at both factories.

Dead right, Victor. I think the term has become misused or mistaken by those who weren't around back in those days. But if it referred to the cylinders, then Mopar couldn't have a V8 6-pack - and there were plenty in North America, as shown by the 440 6-pack decal shown here: www.ebay.com/itm/1970-1971-DODGE-MODELS-440-SIX-PACK-AIR-CLEANER-DECAL-Mopar-NEW-/201529506776 And yep, that's why the R/T had a Hemi decal, and the E38/E49 had the 6-pack decal. I'd bet someone out there has sold a stock Charger with 6-pack decals for beaucoup bucks by claiming it's a 6-pack, and someone like this actually bought it - bought both the story and the car. :-P

The valves were not inclined enough to make it a true 'hemi' which would have required the valves to be inclined to each other at close to 90 degrees. The U.S. V-8 'Hemi had the valves at that angle, but in a crosswise orientation, which made for a very wide head, but made both the intake and the exhaust ports quite short, good for power. The Valiant 'Hemi" which had the valves arranged lengthwise, had a narrow head, with exhaust and intake ports on the one side. But with 12 ports, it did breathe well. Time has shown that a true hemisphere head is not as efficient as one with a shallower 'bowl; with a squish area to quell detonation with high compression ratios. Cosworth pioneered the narrower valve angle 'Hem' head.

I think they used a ute as a mule to test the carbies as far as i know they even sent one over to italy or wherever the webers were made so they could develop it.

For crying out loud, all you dunder heads saying "6 Pack" stands for the number of cylinders in the Charger case need shooting! It refers to the 6 venturi in the 3 Weber carbs! Just like the US Mopar products with 6 Packs, yes they are Holleys, yes they are V8's but for marketing purposes it refers to the induction system! Just like the "Hemi" tag, a link to the US Hemi V8's, hinting at performance via the hemispherical combustion chambers. While we sometimes hear a six cylinder car referred to having a six pack instead of 4 or 8 cylinders this is NOT the reason the Charger had the Six Pack label. Most Chargers had 6 cylinder motors,,,,,,,called Hemis. I don't care who anybody's old man worked for or slept with, "6 Pack" in this case refers to the carbs, that may be why only Chargers with 3 x 2 (=6) Barrel Webers got the Tag, if original. That's it, full stop, lesson over!

Don’t you just love how the person talking about the car talks only about the history of racing at the time. As if we didn’t already know that!! For fucks sake, I want to hear about the history of this particular car! Never mind, my rant is over now, about to click dislike due to poor narration. It looks awesome, but talking about 1972 rules is like finding something from WWII and explaining what the war was all about. We already know that, talk about the article in hand more precisely! Rant over and out 😎 love the car by the way!
