All of the suggested modifications should be fun and will undoubtedly provide a faster car and possibly better fuel economy although after a certain point where you have improved the efficiency as much as possible, any more power will cost more fuel. One caveat that I had pounded into my head by experience early on is "Don't screw with the daily driver". If you need it every day, keep it stock and well maintained. If you want to play, get another car.
Ahhh…ok. How hard is it to bolt up to the 617?

Its a variable vane turbo.Starts making boost at low rpm.You don't have to wait till 1500 rpm (mine).

Been reading up on some of the threads over at superturbodiesel. I’ll get some quotes on getting the whole thing redone (including porting and polishing). What/how is the
turbo different and is there a thread someplace that covers someone who has done that to a 617? Liberty
Thanks for the help!

Oh, forgot. Regarding rust, on a couple of the coolant ports, one was completely clogged and the one next to it was 3/4ths plugged. Several of the head bolts came out dry and a little dusty/rusty but a few were damp with oil. How do you get the intake and exhaust studs off? I want to get this stripped down as much as possible and I’m going to send it out to have the valves and prechambers done. Hate to get this far and cheap out only to have to pull it again.

Looks good to me!
Is there any evidence of corrosion/rust on the mating surfaces? (Hard to tell in photos....)
Did you see anything on the "bad" head that indicated a problem? What does the receiving engine's low end look like?

Well got the head off the donor car today (recall needing to R&R the head on a 1979 W116 300SD). First time doing this so...
If the experts would care to gander at the photos and give me their feedback, I'd be ever so grateful!
