Rajo setup question

I know this is a loaded question, but it's another what's it worth. I found a truck that has been sitting for a long time, don't know the condition of the motor and don't even know if it's for sale yet. I would like to get a ball park so when I do ask and I have to buy the whole truck, I don't want to go over board. I want to save this gem and what else can be saved on the truck (it's rough). Here's the 2 pictures I have, from a crappy cell phone and not wanting to go onto the property without asking.

If the head not cracked it's worth more then the truck. Ball park on the head 1500 to 2500+ depending on which model it is. The truck, not much to go in from photos, 1000 to 1200. Just my op.
 
I would agree with Redmodelt. It looks like an 8 valve Rajo with the original manifold. The head could have seen high revs & maybe overheating in the TT but worth the gamble.

The AA looking wire wheels are an interesting adaptation.
 
Looks like a Model B Rajo with the intake on one side and exhaust on the other. Definately worth more than the truck!!
 
I have a set front hubs that were setup for Model T using Model A wheels that look about the same as the ones on that truck.

I do not think it is a model B as described. It looks like an 8 valve model with the intake between the 2 middle exhaust ports all on the right side. The spark plugs are on the driver's side.

Does anyone know the RAJO model number for this head. All I know, once sorted out , it made my 14 touring a real hill climber. (The next project on that one is to put a Ruxtell axle & Rocky Mountain Brakes back on the car!)

Looks like your head is a Model 30 Jack, it has 1 In. and 4 Ex. ports on the right side. The head in the original post looks to be a Model B, or it could be a BB. Those had 2 In. on right side with a manifold heat port between them, 4 Ex. on left side. If both sides are drilled for spark plugs then it's a BB and has a higher compression ratio as cast. Rajo also produced the BB-R with larger intake ports and the intake heat eliminated.
The give-away for me is the fact that there are six fasteners for the intake manifold on the head pictured in the first post. I don't think Rajo had that feature on any other head they manufactured.
