Hi Nigel.
Interested to read your comments,particularly regarding what we in Australia did with the six cylinder engines.

Chrysler Slant Six and the Chrysler "Hemi" six are totally different engines and no major components interchange.
You will be familiar with the trusty Slant engine and obviously it did not have a cross flow head.
Neither did the Australian built Hemi.
I drove these things when they were new,middle 1960's to the late 70's.

Here is one of the Hemis in full flight on the dyno. No crossflow.
And one of my old Slant.
