Davie: What was auctioned was an early LZ14 head from around 1973, PB110 era, there's less than ten operational world wide. It was a bare head, and the price was kinda reasonable, but to recommission it would cost lots, no valves valve springs cams and more importantly cam buckets.
Auction ended 26 August 2023

Sunny Excellent TS Racing LZ14 cylinder head.
I don't know if those are new yet-to-be-used valve seats installed, but i'm surprised it looks to be just a one-angle type and not blended into the ports very well. Even a stock A12 has three-angle valve seats
The beauty of these head are not that they are just twin-cam, but more that they are 16-valve heads. A junkyard KA24DE would be more powerful perhaps, but this is period cool
