Cool find and even better getting it free. I always love a fly and drive pick up like that too.

On your engine bay, someone has modified almost all of the coolant and heater hoses. There is a lot of special pre-bent hoses on the stock arrangment and maybe they did not want to deal with all of that when they started to go? I would look over those weird fittings and butt splices and try to clean that up for sure.
