The D head. That was a "semi-finished" head that was made for "custom porting".
I don't even think that they came with valve guides and seats installed however, I've never actually seen one in person.
Kelly. Way back in the olden days before I got electricity and indoor plumbing, I inquired with Jay Bittle (when he still owned the company) mostly to harass him for that set of "ultimate" GT500 headers that never seemed to appear.
The subject was about headers for the A3 in my 68. I think his main fabricators name was Mike?
He said something like, "you aren't going to believe this BUT we are actually building a set of those".
Of course I didn't believe him. This was Jay Bittle's "fantom header company".
He actually called me 6 months later with the "guess what" response. "Do you still want these" thing.
They even had a part number on them. That HAD to be1983 or 1984 because I didn't have my Pantera yet. Got that in '86.
In dealing with
Loofty. If I were you I would call those guys and ask them about those A3 headers. Maybe they will pay you to get them out of there?
I wouldn't be shocked at all that they ask you if you know "THAT GUY Doug from NY"? They remember me. Trust me.
My question was, "So if you aren't stupid/retards, etc, why can't I turn my steering wheel to the left with your GUARANTEED to fit headers?" I can be so demanding sometimes.
I wouldn't be so insensitive myself to use that term, i.e., "stupid retards". That was someone in their customer service department.
Wait now...I just realized he was talking about me? "So don't turn left IS the solution"?
...and yes, I am STILL WAITING for the "ultimate GT500 headers". Hey. I'm a married man. I've learned to live with disappointment?
"C'est la vie, say the old folks...goes to show you never can tell?" Jee-ze!
