Aluminum slant block

IF I remember right.... Steve Magnante had a alum block/alum head slanty project a few years back
The aluminum blocks were an assembly line option, so they were somewhat common in the early sixties. Not so much 60years later
I don't remember how he got a alum head.
The guy you bought this stuff from isn't named STEVE, is he?

He got the head from Doctor Dodge, Doug Dutra.
Doug had at least 2, maybe 3 aluminum heads at one time.
Pretty sure one melted when the Californian wild fires hit his home garage.

BTW, the Valiant with the mostly aluminum engine ended up in Australia and was recently for sale.
Steve moved the engine from this "Top Eliminator Fuel" give away car to a 2 door to sell.

$50K AU.
