10 degree GM wedge heads

[Mike Mans]

I have always been under the impression that CFE and SLAWKO are the only two that have really rolled the 615 castings over to 10*. I'm guessing some welding has taken place to allow that to happen, but I know it was never a GM casting that started at 10*.

Thank you. That explains a lot. I've searched and about the only company that casts any are MBE for 4 cylinder midget racing that fit a small block Chevrolet. Thanks again.

Randy - I sent you a PM as well.

Thanks - Mike

Mike, you are correct.
The 615x cylinder head as cast, can be rolled to 12 degrees. To achieve 10 degrees, a lot of more worked is required.

By the way, Carl Foltz, owner of CFE, some time ago, made his own version of the 615x cylinder head.

Seen those, but figured they were basically the 615's. Thank you for pointing that out.

Hi Randy,
They are not your basic 615x casting.
Carl did a lot of improvements and changes when compared to the original 615x casting.

Thank you. I did not know that.
