FrankenSix build....

I've seen a few references to this, but figured I'd post a good write-up on this. Seems really cool and I'd love to find some video of this thing running...

BangShift.com LS1 head on inline six




http://www.engineswapdepot.com/?p=4014

This is definitely not a “bolt on” project but the only machining he subbed out was the machining of the adjoining head surfaces and then he had the head surfaced after epoxying them together. Everything else was done with a die grinder, a drill press, and his 40 year old hack saw.
Love it!

I'd like it a lot more if it had Ford heads!

Now that is funny.

If I was going to do that I'd use some aftermarket 351C heads. Kind of like some of the old drag racers use to do with Boss 302 heads.

Now that's pretty neat even if it is a chevy head! Needs a taller valve cover though

Apparently it doesn't since it runs. I'd love to have that engine. I'd pay a pretty penny for it too. Add a turbo and you're laughing.
