Cylinder Head Question

Just installed the desktop dyno on my computer. When designing an engine their are several selections for the cylinder heads. Two of the choices are canted heads and wedge heads. What does canted and wedge mean??

For chevrolets.. big blocks are canted & small blocks are wedge. Unless you have high dollar SB2 heads on your small block. SB2s are canted valve
