Default AU 185kw heads

Hey folks,

Did all AU V8's come with GT40P heads or were there exceptions?
I'm of the opinion that the 185kw AU motor didn't come with them but am not sure.
Can anyone confirm or deny?

The series II & III definately did come with the GT P head not sure on the series I. There will be GT P on the head. On the drivers side it will be in front of the first spark plug.

AU V8s had GT40Ps. The reason they only had 185kws is due to factory tune.

Didn't the AU Falcon S Ute come with non-GT40P heads?

All AU V8's had the GT40Ps.

The only exceptions are some T1/T2 cars that had the alloy GT40Y heads fitted by Tickford.
