TIII - Head

[swiss_daytona]

I'm confused:

who built and or developed the TIII 16V head

Lotus - Masi?

[glhs727]

Both.
The lotus head design was used on the t3 motors on the 91-93 R/T's.
The 88-89 maseratis TC by Chrysler used a different 16v head designed by Maserati.
These heads are totally different and parts do not interchange
Later,

which one was a better design though? I heard that the lotus heads like to blow headgaskets like every 50,000 miles.
