if you use a GT6 head on a TR6, you will get INSANE compression. I used to
have a spreadsheet with the CC's for the combustion chambers, but I think
the lo-compression GT6 motor has 34 cc chambers. 416/34 is over 12:1. You
don't want that on the street. :-) Don't quote me on the numbers, but the
concept is - don't do this. Plus there's no reason to. TR6 heads are
plentiful and cheap. I bought a BRAND NEW ONE on e-bay for $150 a couple
of years ago.
