I got a B20 for my 122s Coupe swap/upgrade, but which B20 did I get? 120-130

Thank you, Walrus3 and Gary L - very helpful.

In terms of keeping the engine with the stock valve seats (whatever they are), I have an issue bolting an engine that I have not gone over; particularly one that has sat for a long time and one that appears in need of all available gaskets and seals (there's oil and dirt everywhere).
The inside of the engine appears to be fine, so I could just change all gaskets and seals and call it a day, but I have the engine out now and I want some more performance. I’m driving my 64 122 with a B18 and I want more performance than that for sure. Nothing crazy, just improved drivetrain (dual valve springs, seats, pushrods) and a good cam (K series from IPD sounds promising) with about 10:1 compression ratio with slight port on the head (mostly exhaust ports).
I also want to use the aluminum intake manifold from the earlier version, rather than the all cast siamese version. I do want to keep the stock header as it does have dual downpipe.

Again, thank you all for the help and valuable advice!
Marco
