Re: 6 cyl casting

Did you know that you can up the compression ratio on your 230/250/292 by using a 194 head.

Re: 6 cyl casting

I have seen a few posts referring to this. Is it a head from the earlier 194 L6 motor?

I heard about that when I was rebuilding my first 292 in Yuma, in the Marines, in '77. My buddy said that he'd seen a dragster that had a 194 head on a larger displacement L6, and that, '' It ran like a R***d Ape until it blew up at the end of the track.''

Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292, whether it needs it or not.
