That **** reminds me of my friends next door to my shop that have a couple of those left over IMSA Toyota '503' motors from the 90's. They were based on the 3SGTE motor. Same port angles and factory dry-sump built into the front cover of the motor.

I would love to use that head but it is not a production head .....Well not yet. We will be testing with the turbo head on the off season it looks like it might have some potential and the casting is supposedly stronger.
