Can any of you of the early Spitfire persuasion give me a primer on the  
"good" and/or "better" cylinder heads? I'm really interested to know about  
casting numbers AND stamped numbers, what the differences are, why the 303014  
(casting number, I think) head was once banned in SCCA Production racing but is 
 
now allowed again and what's so special about that particular head...in short,  
any such details you'd care to share.
 
I know someone once told me that one or more of the 948cc heads was good as  
well; unfortunately, I lost the details on that in a long-ago computer  crash.
 
Thanks for any and all insights!
