so you have checked the nissan head swap out then?
No, you're missing the point — I don't need to check out the Nissan head swap any more than I need to check and see whether putting this or that square wheel onto a car will actually not work well. The problem is with the concept.

Why use something that low-tech? I'd at least go for a Supra Turbo 7M-GTE and 5-speed. 230hp stock with the wimpy factory intercooler. I saw one in a 510 wagon with a water-to-air intercooler and he put 327hp to the rear wheels. They tend to blow head gaskets after about 100k miles, but that's easy to fix.

I read 510 wagon...i like 510 wagons...Those L16, L18, L20's are fun-- except for the fact that there is a tin can wrapped around them :D

Oh yeah Rz350's love those, those are fun too.

I gotta say after reading through these threads I think your missing the point. He asked for ideas, not cirticism. I understand no one has done this and it probably won't be done. It doesn't mean that it can't be done, it means no one wants to do it for the money or effort. Hybrid heads have been done before, however, I will have to say the slant head can be made to flow so I think there is better effort to be placed in roller cams, con rods (in progress) or other stuff.

Wait till you see how I mate 2 slant blocks/1 crank to make a 450" V12.
That fantasy has BMW V12 Motronic engine control........

( when I took my slant head to the machine shop last winter I told the apprentice the head was for a 1949 Ferrari V12. It was handled carefully)



Easier is the twin slant , mid engine Dart Limo....I have the transfer case for that. Im thinking 80s Eagle wagon AWD front suspension....

Dreaming is free and fun......
There is the british bloke who mated up the 6 cylnder halves of two kawasaki engines - 2.3 litre kawasaki V12

The ancient Jaguar DOHC head could probably bolt on if you
could deal with the Jag bolt pattern which is slightly rectangular,
but still spaced 4 inches longitudinally. The head gasket lines
up as I did that one day in the boneyard.

The older Jag head is a hemi shape chamber. Somebody
could probably get one to bolt up but would be tough to make
the cam drive work. It'd be an interesting conversation piece,
that's about all. I think the slant six might have been roughly
patterned after the Jaguar six, with economy in mind (and
less weight too). You might need custom pistons.

I read where Jay Leno recently bought a newly cast Duesenberg
iron head for only $42,000. That's where this would end too.

Wait wait wait, there's somebody who's crazy enough to have the same never-happen-but-fun-to-dream idea I had? That's disturbing.

I'm not sure which part is the more over the top part, trying to join two slant six blocks, or willingly putting the V12 Motronic system on anything. :)

Trust me, the Motronic system isn't going to look so good after the beer wears off. :) They used four ECUs on that engine: One to control the drive by wire throttles, one for the transmission, and one ECU for each side of the engine. Many BMW fans regard the V12's controls about the same way that Chrysler fans regard the Lean Burn, except without the Lean Burn's simplicity and reliability.
