You're starting a compound setup right?
Exhaust manifold hardware was toasted...
Studs being replaced with 2UZ exhaust manifold studs: 90116-12008:
E10 Torx head:
Coupled with 1FZ down pipe lock nuts 90080-17187:
T4 turbo flange:

Exhaust manifold hardware are all M10x1.25
Bolts being replaced with 1FZ exhaust pipe hardware: 90080-10204
Two long bolts are from 2F upper to lower manifold mating hardware. 90101-10486 mated with 94512-01000 split washer and some generic flat washer.
Perfect length with good engagement with head for the long manifold boss:

Cummins R2.8 swap
Dragged the family 15 minute up the road to hang out on the New River... it was a hit.
Installed roof rack. 84” rack off Amazon . Trimmed and refit to 78”. Electrical u-strut channel. Bolted direct to roof with rubber backing and copius amounts of rtv. Roof rack secured to U-strut with channellocking conduit clamps. PVC pipe clamped to side is my fishing rod case.
Round 1: Build new head.
Best to have new OEM parts....
Try my hand at some porting and polishing.... Plenty of material to get rid of.... more flow... 
Good head is hard to find. 
Oh, and boy are you paying for it. 
Round 2: Cool this sh/t down...
Some seriously top-shelf parts being thrown around here lately... looking forward to seeing the "after" photos of your buttoned up engine bay.
Me too.
Are the "small" and "large" labels for the clip-on weights?
Another piece of the puzzle:
Original 3-core brass Toyo Rad going under surgery. Will become a 4-core brass radiator.
After 35 years, enough was enough. And a good call too. It was plugged up like hell with grit and nastiness.
Radiator guy stated that someone put in some sort of radiator stop leak or HG stop leak in the past. But it was in great shape otherwise for being so old... “Those Toyota guys really know how to make these things to last...” was his comment.
Who knows with the sketchy history of these gray market trucks. Can’t wait for good cooling on the way. Should have it back by early next week.

Some more action in between conference calls about the pending doom of my job....
Head bolts are really in there...
Rocker arms: exhaust on left, intake on right...
Intake arms look nasty. Lack of valuable adjustment early in life. Too bad the arms are discontinued.
I’m hoping there is enough material for machine shop to clean up.
