I think you mean six bolt heads there ebxr. You need a plug in the top of the intake ports so you can fit the bolts in and then close em up again.
I saw the heads for Brendan Mcsweeney EB doorslammer, they made ally cleveland head from scratch with six bolts per cyl. They currently do mid sixes with 317ci cleveland.

I read about them in last months Extreme magazine. Man they look like one serious block. Stronger than a dart maybe?

McSweeney's have just broken the class record for their class a few weeks ago.

They also have built a new engine. It runs a Fontana block now.

Fontana's are all alloy, rare as rocking horse s**t, and they cost a very prety penny. The world blocks are cast iron, much cheaper and come in both windsor and clevland deck heights.

I assume they'll come up with six bolt heads...
Some have adapted existing heads...Alloy heads, I guess?
