Scored it! Looks to be in really good shape. The beast (Rotus) has the massive Esslinger intake, I don't think that's going to work too well on this head, but I'll certainly check. My exhaust has 1.75" ID primary tubes, not ideal but usable in the short term, maybe. I figure on looking for an intake that'll fit a weber 32/36 or Holley, or heck maybe the Holley Sniper EFI kit but I haven't been down that rabbit hole yet.
I think the combustion chamber on this head is ~60cc, and based on what I'm guessing is in the motor (from the notebook), I'd get down to 9.5-10:1... which you might have said a few weeks ago. That seems just about right for a punchy motor.
The transmission is a T5 from the 87-88 Turbo Coupe T-Bird, with a now obsolete internal slave cylinder, Tilton 61-601, another rabbit hole... I'm worried about that because the clutch master reservoir fluid was very dark gray, with a little gray 'spooge' in the bottom. I got as much out as I could and tried to flush the system with the MityVac but got very little fluid out the slave bleeder, I was alone so I didn't have anyone to press the pedal. I've got my fingers crossed, but have a new master on the shelf.
There are notes about modifying the input shaft so that's another puzzle. It does have an aluminum flywheel, and the ratios are 3.97 - 2.34 - 1.46 - 1.00 - 0.79
The rear end is from a '79-'80 Celica Supra, either 3.7x or 4.1x:1, originally with LSD, but a 'Lock Right PowrTrax' mini-spool appears to have been installed, yet another mystery. Happily there's a NOS LSD Toyota TRD differential in the box of spares, sadly at least one axle seal is leaking, and the rear brake calipers are apparently no longer available remanufactured, though a dealer in Florida may have some NOS, at almost $300 each.
Fun stuff, thanks for your time and info!
