Flounder is probably the best race parts cryptographer there is, so he may have answered off line. The head may have markings back by the heater valve ("CTXXX" for Comptune, for instance), and it will likely at least have the chamber volumes marked as well. Some guys put the flow bench numbers on there as well. The crank may be marked  - I recently bought a crankshaft for $60 that still had Rick Haynes' name on it (jackpot). This is usually a lot of fun - let us know what you find.
