John,
You seem to have struck lucky, the 30A is a Vitesse engine and as such should be a stiff block and will be 9.75/1 compression, have better heads with waisted stem valves, bulleted guides and they are also relieved around the valve throats and from memory these had 184BHP standard from new.
Certainly worth a rebuild, and with a mild road cam and decent induction and exhaust should make an easy 200-210BHP.
Good luck.
Kevin.
