Thanks. Someone else today said it was probably a dual relief universal
case.

So, uh, what exactly is a Universal case? From RTFM'ing it appears that
I need to know exactly what this thing was in order to rebuild it. Is
there a universal gasket set?

All I really want to do is take the pieces to a machinist and have
everything measured/checked, then replace the pistons, get the heads
done, a new carburetor, alternator (or convert to one), and turn it into
a manual instead of a auto-stick.

Simple!
