Was there actually a M/T '63 catalog? I have 3 M/T catalongs. 2 completely different ones both marked '62. The earlier edition shows the Pontiac Hemi heads unmachined and not available yet. The later '62 one shows them ready and available. The most common one is the '64 catalong/handbook which shows them finished and also available for 392 and FE applications. These are great catalogs and they show up from time to time at swap meets and , of course, ebay. I recommended buying a copy they are very interesting to say the least.
I think the rarest part is the intake and the ex rockers. There seems to be a fair amount of heads around but few ( maybe 2?) complete original M/T motors.
I have 7 of the heads myself.
Someone ought to start some sort of registry of just how much Pontiac M/T HEMI stuff is really out there. I would guess there are 30-50 sets of heads. Maybe a dozen intakes and even less valvetrain related parts.

Steve, Thanks for adding to this thread, haven't heard from you in a while. Still hoping to see your fuel car at Bakersfield. I have the M/T handbook and have never seen the others. I also have a magnesium blower intake and a set of exhaust rockers as well as two sets of heads. I've been trying to find out how many people have heads and think it's a great idea to keep track somewhere. Steved400 has a pretty good web site and is going to add a hemi section. Maybe he can set up a registry for stuff. Didn't know you had a DS1001 block. I'll have to talk to you about that one as that's what I have and planned to use with my hemi heads. TomS had some negative input on it but I still think it would be OK with some work.
