E30? 
They have teeny, tiny ports and are normally on L20A's...
You've be better off with and E88e or an E88 with welded chambers.

BTW, that head it quite repairable - Les Colling Racing over here repairs them all the time.

I think I have 2 x E88 heads, unsure of condition. I won’t be using them so would be happy to sell.

 Also have you contacted Martin at tuneright?

More commonly seen on 240Ks and C210s in Australia I think. Not planning to build the L24 for the car, so preference is to keep the engine stock.

The photo doesn't show the extent of the corrosion that is in the water jacket, I am getting it looked at by a repair shop today, but am guessing I will be better off with a cleaner start.

Hey mate,

I collected an E30 head a couple of years ago. Have to check I still have it in storage and its condition. I can't recall where it is, after my Sydney to Melbourne move.

If you get desperate I might be persuaded to part with it.

Maybe an option?

I have since found an 05L head which is now bolted on and the engine is running. The original head was taken to a repair shop, and failed a pressure test due to previous repairs, so has been scrapped. Thanks for the help.

Shame, I think it would be good to keep such heads to practice porting work on.
