mystery cylinder head
Hello
 here's a cylinder head i came across and was wondering if any of you can positively identify it. What we know so far : - There are no markings on the head, apart from a number that is cast into the front of it : 01 12 2100 and below that 157 0 - Cosworth / Hemi Style combustion chamber with mahoosively polished (looks like F1 quality) channels. - Bronze Valve Guides - Theres watercooling openings below every inlet and outlet port, also between the exhaust ports. Strangely enough i did see that on FVA's ?? - The split head / camshaft carrier idea has been used on BD's although harvey gibs says this is never ever a BD head. - The guy selling it to me says he thinks it belongs to a Zakspeed but didnt know if F1 or Capri / Escort Turbo or something completely different... So what is it ?? My personal feeling is that its from a Zakspeed engine that was used in the capri turbo gr5 back in the day.

it seems after looking at some pics that the vega had an egr system where this head has water inlets / outlets. might be wrong, can someone comment ?

Just had a quick look around and found this
http://racing65.com/tech.html It states that the Zakspeed was a BDA mounted on a 1300cc Kent block , so as you have already said that you do not think it is a BDA then this seems to not be the case , the Cosworth Vega idea , I found a pic and it seems to show a thermostat housing on the front left of head , so this seems to be wide of the mark also .  will keep looking .
