Re: 1970 head work on my 63?

[Dan McCormack <mcwheels@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill, the following is a quote from the slant six forum:

"All slant six cylinder heads are interchangeable. There are no major 
differences between the various heads."

And here's a quote from an article by Doug Dutra one of the gurus of slant 
six racing. It sounds like putting a 70 head on your 63 would be a good 
thing:

"Knowing that a "head swap" is a big job and that lots of time and money can 
be invested into a good "performance built" SL6 head, I wanted to review and 
remind everyone of the combustion chamber change made to the SL6 head in 
1968. I feel that the "revised" chamber design is a better design for both 
performance and cylinder efficiency (fuel economy) so it is worth the effort 
to locate and use the 1968 and later head in order to get the most out of 
your efforts and your SL6. The new chamber shape can be found in heads with 
and without the spark plug tubes."

Good luck bidding, Dan
