Wayne built aftermarket heads for Cheby/GMC w/12 ports. CRS prevents me from stating it was cross flow.

Hmm, wet sleeves, long pistons, and a mechanical injection pump... Not likely a gas engine.

I hope that's not the steering linkage.

Earn the black flag it would.

I think they were. I'm talking factory. I think maybe Studebaker or Nash had one?

Not Studebaker, Packard or Willys, you might try Hudson. The Kaiser Jeep Tornado 230 had the intake and exhaust on opposite sides of the block.

That Jeep motor was the old Super Hurricane flat six updated to a crossflow head. Didn't work well. At all. I can't believe there aren't a few out there. Case tractors 451-501's claim to fame as the xflow head. You'd think a auto/truck builder would have come up with one.

I think you need to check that, as I recall the 230 was an aluminum block and also had an overhead camshaft. I threw a rod in a Super Hurricane and tried to rob one from a junk 230 I had and it was a no go. AMC also had the 232 and later the 258 in line 6's.

I was gonna head to the wrecking yard and see if they had some 73-87 style dish caps for a GMC laying around. haha!

Yep I was wrong. Wonder where I got that tidbit of mid information.

I've never seen one running. Only in junk yards or laying in a pile after being replaced by anything else.

My '62 Willys 4x4 wagon had the 226 Super Hurricane, my '65 Wagoneer (designed by Brooks Stevens who created the GT Hawk and Wagonaire for Studebaker) had the Tornado 230. It came with another whole 230 engine, the one in the vehicle had a 2v Holley.

I bought an AMC 327 to go in it but could never find a bell housing to allow me to install it. Sold the Wagoneer to a guy I worked with back in the '90's for $200 and scrapped the extra engine when we cleaned up my mother's place.
