Re: [Amc-list] Rambler content (new 4.0L six wishes)

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

One big catch with this: slant sixes lay over at an angle (30 degrees?) 
and AMC sixes don't. That would make the manifold point downwards. That 
can't be good for the engine. It's been many moons since I had a car 
with a slant six but I think the block is considerably wider than an AMC 
six as well.

> I wouldn't mess with the block at all, just cast a new cross-flow cylinder head! I wonder how close the Aussie slant six hemi head is to the 4.0L bore spacing, bore,  and head bolt pattern?
