I should have guessed there was a jacket there, they built the Slant so strong I guess I just figured the head was solid!
Thanks for the input.

| Post subject: | Injectors right in the head? |
I was just brainstorming and was looking at the area between the valve cover and the manifolds, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a half decent idea to mill that area smooth and then drill for the injectors to get them nice and close to the backs of the valves? I have only one slant and it is installed in my car so this is just a little playful "Bench Engineering" but any thoughts would be welcome. |

You would have to bore a big hole and weld/braze/epoxy in a tube as there is water between that ledge above the port face and the intake ports. |

Yep, lots of water jacket there. Not worth the trouble, IMHO. Lou |

Isn't the head also significantly hotter then the intake? |

I would worry also if the mix was run too lean for too long, you might melt the o-rings on the injectors... or worse...-D.Idiot |

That Sounds like a option For the Next slant Head that comes along:) or maybe even direct injection! Greg |

This is something I thought about, too. Even drilled a hole in a junk head to check. It does make for nice injector targeting - right at the valve! But I decided the machining/sealing issues made it not worth the trouble. |

Years ago (70s), there was an article on a Plymouth Cricket Wagon that had a highly modified slant. They actually cut a bunch of the area of the port out of the way and pressed in tubes. They then placed a cut carb on top of each tube. Needless to say it look really awesome and ran in the tens. I don't remember which mag it was in, but that is what hooked me on the thought of a hot six. |

What is a "cut carb?" |

They cut the dominator carb right in half. They then placed the half of the carb right over the top of two cylinders. |

Maybe you could mill a hole and install a iron tube with pipe threads, then set the injector in the bottom of the tube, with an o-ring in the bottom? |

Wasn't there somebody already doing this? I thought I saw recent pictures of a head drilled out for the tubes, on this site. |
