1972 GA head question
I had a guy tell me that GA heads are standard 72 heads vs GA heads which he said are W30 big valve heads


I've never seen a set of GA heads. I nicely called BS on it but he was insistent. The guy is looking for pics but in the meantime.......


Are there two different castings for 72?

Your right. BS. Ga's are the only heads for all 72's including W cars. W cars did get large valves but there is no special number for them

Thanks Mark

Did 72's get the Winters aluminum intakes or were they 70-71 only?

That's called pegging the meter...
