A new head is ambitious. Other in-line six stuff like Aluminium pushrod covers, valve and timing covers are easier products. A good turbochager exhaust manifold is needed.

Funny thing was the ad below it was for a Mercedes V12 for $1800.
I thought maybe it would make more sense to put the Mercedes engine in as a swap than to swap a head.

Looking at other options, the Jaguar 6 and 12 engines are plentiful and inexpensive. Would those be attractive to swap?
plenty of cores, just maybe not in CA.

300's are in Trucks of course and people love old pick ups.

The inline folks hang out on inliners.com, ford-six.com, ford-trucks.com, the hamb etc...

The engine that gets swapped into cars and some trucks is the GM Atlas six, 4.2 DOHC from trailblazers etc..

Of course plenty swap for V8's but that is a very saturated aftermarket.
I don't remember exactly, but I had a new Chevy truck in about 95 that had a DOHC straight 6, if someone wanted a 6, I suppose that might be a good engine.
