I'd be happy to come and pull the head. This weekend would be okay
for me.
One way of checking for a limited slip is to jack the rear end up
so both wheels are in the air. If you turn one and the other
spins the opposite way, it's open, if it spins the same way, it's
a LSD. A more definitive way to check is to pop the cover off of
the diff and look. Having a look inside the rear end is worth
doing anyway if the car is scrap. Shiny gears inside there.
Other things you should pull (for yourself) offhand: alternator,
power steering pump, master cylinder and calipers (for cores, at
least). Take all of the intercooler parts and plumbing along with
the intake manifold too, if you haven't already. I'd be happy to
give you a hand with this stuff in exchange for the head.
I'm sim@puddle.ca if you want to email me.
