More food for thought.

Yes, I tried to find a picture, I will keep looking for the image. I just read something yesterday about a different header pairing. I am not sure how any of them might work. I like the 6 into 1 deal myself, that seems like a self scavenging deal to me. My headers are 1-2-3, 4-5-6, kinda boring.

There are many theories about what works with various combinations. Pete McNicholl who was a member of the Ramchargers was successful with tuning the exhaust system. Here is his dragster from the early sixties. The collectors are way down the head pipes. His Willys had a form of Tri-Y that he...

Yea I don't know that carb, but on my DCOEs : You have to hang it vertical. I have 3 or 4 Weber manuals, lot of different information of float setting. 3 to 4 PSI is important with DCOEs, not sure about yours. I have found much information on a couple of FakeBook user groups.

This is what Robert Maw did to his block.

Did you outline the solution you came up with over on .org? If so, what do I search for?

I found a slant friendly guy with a distributor machine. He set up my unit for what I asked for. Send me a message if you want his contact info.

It's not easy. Get everything clean, block, pan, timing cover, bolts. Make sure you can get to everything easily as possible. Blocks under the motor mounts will help. Straighten all the sheet metal parts. Clean the oil pickup to make sure it's clear of junk. Change the real main if it needs it...

Not many good running aluminum slants anymore. But this was a cool one, turn up the sound!

He got the head from Doctor Dodge, Doug Dutra. Doug had at least 2, maybe 3 aluminum heads at one time. Pretty sure one melted when the Californian wild fires hit his home garage. BTW, the Valiant with the mostly aluminum engine ended up in Australia and was recently for sale. Steve moved the...

What is the number on the cam? I am looking for the RPD-3, I think that is the number, I know it's -3. And post up the serial number on the aluminum block if you can. Here are my numbers:

Go for it! Robert Maw on FB has come up with maybe a fix for the head gasket surface, might be common soon. See if he has the Special head casting when you look at the block. Head bolts, Main Bolts, oil seal retainer parts are different than stock cast iron slants. What intakes does he have? I...

I don't know Rusty, Gill Welding is donating some serious prizes. Might be worth your time. Consistent cars are hard to beat!

I would talk to Mike Shime, @shimos . Are you on Facebook, lots of slant pages and lots of OZ posts. I finally sold the 4 lids I had. Took forever!

Thanks for the photo credit! I know you didn't ask for all this, but here it is. Might help you find one. Those were out of Australia, pretty common down under. It's also the same as a Max Wedge top. It is Re-popped in Fiberglass by Kramer I think. Filters from NAPA are easy to get, I have the...

Rusty, wouldn't a block mill accomplish your near zero deck height? Just no valve clearance! LOL (not really).

Jim, if you want to come race with us you need those pistons. Light weight, metric ring package, lighter, stronger, able to leap tall buildings, etc. As you said, stock build, not needed. Truck looks supper!

Ok, the 225 is a lot lower piston deck height. Your reamer should do the job. I use an old ring hone with good results. Just break the glaze and leave a good crosshatch pattern and you should be good to go.

Yea, we get off track! You need to check back and get us going the right way! Is it a 170, 198 or 225 engine? Yes use the reamer and just remove the ridge.

A 1/4 inch deck is a TON. No way I would do that much.

Well it's time to scratch that niche!

An aluminum Jeep cylinder head sells for $1800 from Summit. How many slanters would step up the plate to pay that for a head? I would.

Rusty, that is mean. :) Best stock cam was the 71-77 cam. 244 Dur, 26deg overlap, .406 Lift I and .414 Lift E. Now I agree, it's not a radical cam, but lift is better at .440. But I have been told I run a street cam in my engine, so what do I know.

Yea I followed the link on .org and they are not available. I was just curious, really looks like a dead end. Sad that Edelbrock and others make a jeep head but slants don't get much love. Thanks for what you posted.

Do you have pictures other than those thumbnails?

The Daytona 170s spun 7000 in 1960.

I don't think the head in the US is the "TAHUIL" head.

I think he had it, sold to MoparFrank in MN or MI. MoparFrank passed away a couple of years ago. From what Frank told me, the flow numbers were not great. But that is common for all slant six heads.

Mild boost would be no problem, I would not push it too far!

Those yella terra rockers were 1.65 ratio. I have been looking at them, but not in my budget yet. And like you guys said, some strange decisions made in the build.
