So did all XR's have GT40P heads? Was there a difference between the heads from Series 1 -3? Bigger valves etc?

Yes they all had GT40P heads, however, the 220kw Windsors got some massaging from Yella Terra.

How an alloy headed 220 motor sat around for over three months and then finally found its way into an XR8 is beyond me, especially since the T2's had been getting cast iron headed engines for that whole time. Possibly a T1 TS50 warranty engine that had been misplaced in the production line? Daniel |

Left over heads, warranty left overs and the like sounds the most plausible.
