Nice find! Those pics aren't bad at all.
I test drove that engine when it was brand new, and to me it had a really good feel. I ended up with an '86, carbuerated, as we couldn't afford new at the time. One thing I noted about that engine - if I followed the shift light and kept the revs down, that car delivered fantastic mpg. Ours was a wagon. Record interstate mpg was for me, get this, 38 mpg. Of course, back then the speed limit was 55, but still.
