IF YA WANT TO SEE PICS OF Aluminum vs PROPER Iron Heads for 60* V-6

I was visiting my friend (who has a great MIG welder for sale for $2,000-HD Industrial rolling unit) I saw these items in his yard.

4.3 V-6 90* engine!
Aluminum Heads
Several 2.8 mills, long blocks 60* engine!.

So I took pics.

I don't have a place to upload them, so email me to see why you cannot use the aluminum heads on the Camaro Firebird 60* block.

And why a 4.3 is different than a 60* mill.

PS Welder pics, too, if interested!

If someone can show them here, please help me!

Aluminum FRONT WHEEL DRIVE HEADS for 60* blocks.
CAST IRON HEADS FOR THE REAR WHEEL DRIVE BLOCKS.
I had a 4.3 in the pic for comparison of why one cannot install a 90* 4.3 V-6 into our 60* V-6 engine bays.

I know not of aluminum heads for the 4.3 V-6.
I'll send ya pics again.
Wish someone could post them here for us.
I'll send ya lots of pics.

You know you guys can attach files, right? Post a reply, look below the "your reply" box, look below the checkboxes, and you'll see "attach file". You can attach a file from your C: drive (as long as it's not huge) and it gets saved to thirdgen.org's server.
