[urq] WX head replacement

[DGraber460 at aol.com]

We just put a KH (hydraulic) head on another listers 84 URQ WX with a hybrid 
K24, and it runs great! He also used a cam upgrade, but I'm not sure which 
one.

Timely topic as this AM I spent a _marvelous_ time talking with a lister that 
showed me a "long 10 valve head" and cam. I had never seen one before. The IM 
for this head was _really_ unique if not downright rare. It had turbo script 
along the top, with the intake port (quite large square bolt pattern) on the 
passenger rear side. The cam had a long "tail" (firewall end) with a smaller 
gear for the dizzy drive, that sat in a pyramid shape extending off the back 
of the head. The valve cover was obviously the same profile. I'm guessing 
it's from a very early turbo car?
The cam had the largest "racing type" profiles (very rounded tops, versus 
sharp peaks) I have ever seen on a street cam. The cam was also weird in that 
it didn't appear to be a long straight shaft with lobes. It jogged from one 
section to the next like a crankshaft.
This means I'm still looking for an 81-82 5kt cam.
Great stuff, great morning, just no WR cam.
