I got talking to a guy last night who said that he worked on a bunch of slant 6s back in the day. He told me about this Offenhauser cylinder head that apparently used to be available. I had never heard about this, so I just wanted to post here and see if there was anything to what he was talking about.

He might have been confused by an Offy valve cover on a regular head.
I suppose it's possible Offenhauser tried one - they have a lot of casting experience, and of course built their own engines.

There is an Offy motor, no relation to Offy intakes or accessories, and nothing like a slant six.

Thanks ~ that is exactly what I thought.

This is one of those guys who talks and talks and you know they're wrong.
