Default Head ID

Is it possible to tell a Snyders 5.5 from a Snyders 6.0 on the engine? I would like to know what I have. AER rebuilt back it in 2017 and their records are lacking.

I don't think there is any visual difference but a compression test (allowing for whatever the over size bore is) might give a clue.

Take a plug out and use a dental mirror or bore site to look at the combustion chamber. The 5.5 head is triangular and the 6.0 head is rectangular. Go to Snyders site to view the combustion chamber differences.
