I'll say up front that sometimes text is a poor method of communication, so if the next questions seem a little off, please put it down to that issue, I'm not in any way being critical.
I'm trying to work out an offer (and at the same time work out if its something I want badly enough for x amount of money, or y amount of money etc) so I've got to get an accurate picture of what is actually on offer.
So:
the highly modified head is untouched since you bought it, meaning it will need one valve guide replaced?
does the other head - the h75 one come with the a14 (or in other words if I made an offer for the race head and the a14, is the other head that was originally on the a14 come as part of the package, or is it already gone?
the a14 - I'm assuming it is more or less a std engine, in reasonable, and at the very least re-buildable condition?
If not, what oversize are the bores, what cam is in it, are the crank journals still std sized or has it been re-co'd and ground to the first undersize?
Has the block itself been decked since it left the factory?
you mention the manifolds are now gone, is the alternator and dizzy still there?
I've read your dollar $$ figure for the race head, could you give me a ballpark of what you'd want (hypothetically) for the a14 with h75 head and whatever remains of it (dizzy alternator etc) 'without' the race head.
I'm also more than happy if you would rather PM me all or any of the reply incase it could for some weird reason compromise any potential offers from other forum members, or whatever.

re: the caster rods - I've got one complete set for sure, and maybe a second (I have to double check, I may actually have 3 rods in total, not 4). I didn't manage (so far) to get any of the ones that were recently advertised, so if you happen to have any late model ones with the groove to clear the ball joint attachment bolts, I'd be very keen on them (and that would be the case no matter if I end up buying the a14 and or the race head or not buying them - I'd still be after caster rods)
