Anyone know exactly (precisely, as in engineering drawing precise) what the angle of the slant six is? That is, what angle is the head surface at in relationship to a horizontal line?

...my references say it's 30 deg. from vertical. Sound about right?

30 degrees from vertical is the number I remembered as well :) That is for the block centerline -- Head surface would be 30* from horizontal (assuming the head surface is perfectly perpendicular to the block CL)

Everything I have ever read about the Slant Six is that the cylinder axes are 30 degrees from vertical. :o

Thanks everyone. I'll double check the angle when I get it all mocked up and see where we're at.
