'66 Slant Six Turbo Build
Another few months have passed and finally some significant progress. We finally got the head gasket solution figured out. This setup is just copying the Cummins guys and using steel fire rings with a Victor-Reinz head gasket. Hopefully it all crushes together right and we can easily hold tons of boost. I guess Porsche guys use a similar setup with great success.
If this works well and anyone is interested in holding tons of boost in a /6 we made three sets of gaskets/rings and a local shop is tooled up to make more and cut the head :-)
This project is moving slow but will have killer results.
Here is a fire ring and a view of the the head cut with a receiver groove:
And the head gasket laser cut to accept the fire ring:
