I used the head off my '85 5000s parts car.   It turns out to have 
_exactly_ the same part number as the turbo head that came off my '86 
5KCSTQ.  I will clean it up a bit, and swap in the turbo valves.  Since 
the non-turbo sees alot less heat than the turbo heads, you're more 
likely to find a good head without the cracks between the valves.  Thanks 
to Scott J. for that illuminating tidbit.
