RE: So you're saying...

that a '66 Fairlane GT/GTA may have been factory equipped with either -R- or -U- heads?

What logic or reasoning would support this? Not that there necessarily had to be logical reasoning but I'm just wondering why there would be two such different heads bolted on the '66 390GT engine.

My "theory" that the '66 GT 390 got the -R- heads is just that, pure conjecture based on possible pretzel logic that engineers may have wanted the higher intake port head for the somewhat higher performance 390 over the standard 4V/2V. But then they found that the -U- head and the C7 head would suffice and help meet emission standards..?

I just don't have enough 390GTs lying around or easy access to looking at them anymore.

Again, just wondering.
