Soon, I hope to install it on the IND-7(236.6) which is installed in my WC 1/2 ton Military 4x4. it will save me weight over the 41' Spifire head I have on it now, and it has been shaved down for some higher compression. I have bought a Chrysler steel head gasket as they say to use steel instead of cooper.

According to my 1937 Chrysler shop manual, it lists Champion J8 spark plugs for the cast iron head - Champion H10 spark plugs for the aluminum head. The difference may be in the reach of the spark plugs as you would not want carbon build up to damage the threads on the aluminum head.
