Mike knows better than me, but I was under the impression the you could order the SSS option here....  No?  There seems to be a lot of vintage 219 heads, SSS badges, and SU carbs here to not have been an option here.  Even in Kansas there are a bunch of that old SSS stuff around for it not to have been an option.

The SSS option included 219 head, flattop pistons, modified dizzy, tach and dress up items like steering wheel, badges. In the 80s it was cheaper to buy and instal a low mileage import motor from Japan than to rebuild one. Garages would just strip off the SUs and manifolds and put the owner's intake and carbs back on the new block. I have a set, and the choke cables have been cut.... probably by the wrecking yard in Japan that sold the motor.

 

So, when people refer to "JDM," they're talking about stuff that was only sold in Japan?

Yes
