Help Needed With My Thermal Design Project - Designing a Turbo System for the Slant!

Bill Dedman said
The slant 6 was originally designed as an aluminum engine. Aluminum lacks the strength of cast iron, so the original design parameters reflected that. The aluminum blocks apparently were fraught with warranty problems, so after 60,000 of them, Ma Mopar gave up, and changed the block material over to cast iron. The heads were always cast iron.

:wack:

They were designed to be aluminum, but from the very beginning they were made out of cast iron also. They had problems with the initial run of aluminum blocks on the production side so they made cast iron blocks alongside the aluminum until they fixed the problem. The production problems were different from the head gasket/coolant issues.
