And, as I said at the time:
"I wonder how many cut-n-shuts he did to the original head(s)?
Slant bore spacing is alternately 3.98" and 4.00".
The 5.7 is 4.46", just like the LA.
This means if you start at the front, the #2 cylinder is .46" too far back, the #3 is .92", #4 is 1.38", #5 is 1.84", and #6 is 2.3"... hanging off the back of the block.
Even cutting each head in halves (2 chambers each), each pair of chambers (if centered) is off by .23".

Lot of welding."
