1.5L HEAD
*I already have a ported intake manifold, it was last winters project. Do I have a fighting chance doing the unshrouding work myself, or is this not is the same realm of porting an intake manifold? If not, any ballpark what this might cost?

It'll be very similar to porting the intake, but will take a bit longer as it's cast iron.

*Using 2.0L intake valves from OGTS, good suggestion. A new complete valve set is about $120. The springs (assuming they are OK) that comes off the 1.5L will play with the new valves? A new set of OGTS valve keepers are $10, cheap.

Use later model springs, such as the ones off your 1973 head. The early springs (solid lifter) are actually weaker than the later springs for hydraulics.
