Did they make a Diamond Head for the D-Block?

I assume you are talking about the Donavan Block. They made a flat head for it. See http://www.donovanengines.com/donovan-model-d-block/ A great engine for someone that just won the lottery and didn't plan to use if for organized racing.

In my opinion, the "Diamond" means nothing other than it is an aftermarket casting makers mark.

Re; aftermarket casting makers mark
Isn't a diamond block or head a Ford made replacement product?

I do not think the "Diamond" is a Ford caster's mark. Perhaps someone out there can enlighten us with facts as to what the "Diamond" signifies. This is right up Puck's Alley!
