"Possible" is strong word. Depends on the size of your wallet and the size of your acetylene bottle.
Yeah, I know I shouldn't respond to (really obvious) trolls. Too much chianti with dinner tonight.
Why is his post a "really obvious troll?"
They put 426 hemis in Colts back in the 70's, so I guess anything's possible.
The Valiant Charger was an Australian Chrysler.
Right. No common sense required.
man of mach> have welder, cut off tool, and you can do anything
The only correct answer to the above question is: Yes.
If you don't know what a Valiant Charger is, then you obviously haven't googled it or don't know the history of Chrysler's overseas operations.
What does common sense have to do with stuffing a 426 Hemi into an A-body? (which is what the Valiant Charger basically is). Plenty of people have stuffed Hemis into US A-bodies. Its not easy and takes a lot of fabrication, but it can be done. I have no idea what extra hassles the fact that the Valiant Charger is right-hand-drive might add to the situation though.
A lot of things don't make "common sense" but turn out really, really neat when someone does them anyway.
