Hi,
You mean 18RG, not 18RB don't you? I've never heard of an 18RB engine, and I would assume it to be a SOHC. This one definately is a twin-cam engine.
The radiator looks fairly new compared to the rest of the engine bay and maybe a recent replacement.
The spark-plug leads should be routed over the top of the engine at the front, through a small plastic thing to hold the leads. Also there should be another lead retainer on the front of the engine. The spark plug leads are all over the place in this one. I'm also a bit confused by the feul filter looking thing near the radiator. That's not normal placement for an 18RG - well, not on these models anyway. The 18R-G water thermostat housing is just above the dizzy (driver side), but in the 2T-G it's at the front of the engine, on the passenger side.
Assuming it's a TA27... the following models and engines are as follows...
TA27-K, TA27-M and TA27-H had the 2T engine - these are the LT versions.
TA27-MZ and TA27-MZR had the 2T-B and 2T-BR engines respectively and are the ST variant
TA27-MQ and TA27-MQR had the 2T-G and 2TG-R engines, respectively. This is the GT variant.
If it's an RA25....
RA25-K, RA25-M and RA25-H had the 18R engine. This is the LT variant.
RA25-ME had the 18R-E (EFI) engine. This is the ST variant, but I say that with some reservation. I'll need to do some more checking out on this.
RA25-MQ and RA25-MQR had the 18R-G and 18R-GR engines, respectively. These are the GT versions.
-K means 4speed manual, -M means 5speed manual, -H means 3speed automatic. So, a TA27-M is a 2T engine with 5speed box.
The TA27-MZ, -MZR, -MQ and -MQR had a 5speed box. The gear ratios and diff ratios are the same across these models.
The RA25-ME, -MQ and -MQR had 5speed boxes also. However the gear and diff ratios on the -ME are different from those of the -MQ and -MQR. The -MQ and -MQR had the same gear and diff ratios.
I'd hazard a guess that this is a late build (ie mid/late 1974 to 1975) TA27-MZ (or TA27-MZR) which has had the 2T-B (or 2T-BR) engine replaced with a 2T-G engine.
