WASH YOUR BLOODY MOUTH OUT.

The fearsum 'shree point shree' is a capable beast which will propel any mooring chain at a ridiculous pace straight to the bottom of Davy Jones' locker.


I had a black one in my VK wagon, manual with an exhaust. sounded great. but did lack a bit of power and the timing gears stripped off of it.
That was the only problem it ever had though.
Except the thrust face on the crank wore off.

I still liked it though. A straight six just sounds good.

My Honda 6 never sheered anything off that i can recall. A 6-1 pipe also made it sound better good... until it dropped a few valves.

Still not a straight six so it does not count.

The missus had a short wheel base Datsun 1200 ute. was a minta.
I wanted to put a Honda s2000 motor in it.
Everyone had done the rotary, sr20 and v8 conversions already so I thought that Honda motor would be a beasty one.

The Honda 1979 CBX was very much a straight six cylinder, along with DOHC, six carbs and 24 valves.

I had a 68 monaro..the first of the 2 door coupes..had a 186 in it...for all of a week...was swapped out for a 400 chev small block bored out to 412 ci and tunnel rammed amongst all the other work running twin 600 holleys about a foot out the bonnet , amounted to 580 rwhp on Dyno , which I will add was a lot 30 yrs ago when I built it. Now THAT sounded better than the 186....
