How 'bout a 240/260/280 Z Datsun/Nissan engine? Single OHC aluminum head st
6. Lots of donor cars available since they tend to rust out.
A 70's Mercedes 280 would fit the bill as it has a DOHC aluminum head.
these look great with their twin cam covers and center mount plugs. The cars
should be rusty by now but repair parts might be pricey.
There was a OHC aluminum head straight 6 built by GM in the mid sixties.
Pretty much a regular 6 with a semi trick head, now rather hard to find and
not worth the effort.
Austrailia has all sorts of interesting st 6 engines. Chrysler made a hemi
headed slant 6 and Ford had a OHC st 6 as well. Need a vacation? ;+)
