I'm sure you know alot more about the original cars than me, or what I will ever know, but in the past I was intrigued by tha fact that in some early SAI advertising, the comp cars were listed as coming standard with HiRiser heads. Obvioulsy, not many , if any, of these cars came with these heads. I had talked to several people about original CSX3000 cars, and somehow I got in touch with somebody out west, to specifically answer my question. He told me that he knew of one car, that from what he knew had the original engine, and it had iron HiRiser heads. I also remember about 5-7 years ago there was a CSX3XXX car on ebay, stating that it had the original engine, and it had HiRiser heads, for sale from a classic car dealer I think. I can't remember the serial number, but I think it was a street 427 car. I don't know if it was the same car I was told about prior to that.

I would guess the SAAC registrar for CSX3000 cars would know.
