thanx guys.
13's showed up on the high horsepower GP's, auto, and other 400 auto cars.
I know GM replaced 12's with 13's under warranty, They are so close in specs.
The 13's were in good supply. A friend ordered a pair of #12'S in 75, and got 13's
The reason they are often called RA heads is because they are, for the most part, identical to the #12 head.
I have only seen 13 heads on 4 BBL engines
my 2 cents
