But .200" would pooch that head i'm sure, unless the decks are 1/2" thick.




I know some people who have taken up to .140" off. Not sure if I'd try .200" though.

And last i checked (3 or more years ago?) there was no non-Mopar head that could be physically bolted onto/mated to a slant six. Apparently the slant guys have tried EVERYTHING... and i do not doubt them. But... it has been at least 3 years... and there have been a few I-6's introduced into the automotive world. If i was a slant six guy, that would be my quest... finding a modern head to bolt onto that block. Beyond the obvious benefits, making quench would be easy. But i suppose we're transcending the original question now...




Correct, there is no other head that will bolt on.

There was a thread making it's way around the internet a couple years ago about a guy sectioning a couple 5.7 Hemi heads to make a SLant head. He even had a bunch of pictures of it on the motor and claimed it ran. Looked very nice.

It was bogus as hell.

I also have a buddy who posts pictures of a Slant with I believe a Toyota head bolted on to it.

It's bogus too.
