I can't remember the name of the company who does these cross flow
aluminum heads, but I saw an ad (probably in Grassroots) recently that
said Triumph heads are on the way. However, a cross flow head for a
TR6 would seem hard to do. You'd have to put the intake on the driver
side of the engine, but the distributor would be in the way. I think
it would be necessary to go with some kind of crank fired ignition
setup to go to a cross flow head. Maybe that's why we haven't seen
this company make one for TRs.
