Can somebody (anybody) explain to me, just what, specifically, the flow advantages of a crossflow head are?
Unless there are issues with one set of ports (intake, for example) infringing on the space that might be used by the exhaust ports (in this case,) I fail to see what kind of advantage a crossflow head would have over a same-side setup. The mixture coming out of the combustion chamber doesn't CARE which way it goes, does it?
I have thought about it a lot, trying to justify the added complication of moving the exhaust port to the opposite side of the head, and except for some minimal advantages in packaging (room for components,) I can't see a single thing to recommend it (a crossflow configuration,) over the OEM setup on a slant six.
It would complicate turbo plumbing, for sure...
Somebody help me out here... please.:glasses7:
