The picture is a bit small but those look like Western wheels. They can look pretty good when they're cleaned up and polished but I think they're heavier than the Fuchs wheels.

My understanding is that the cases are identical - it's the heads that are slightly different for the '75-'76 2.0s which have holes for air injection that the earlier 2.0s did not.

For a 2.0L case, it's between the oil filler housing and the fan shroud just about directly below the bar for the cooling flaps that crosses the top of engine.

These are not new Toyotas. They break down often and the price of new OEM parts are very high. If you can afford it, go for it. You will really enjoy the car when it runs. Just my two cents.

It could be that your distributor shaft bushings are worn and that would cause the constant changes in the dwell readings. If that's the case, installing a Pertronix or Compufire module may solve it.

Are the dwell and timing within specs? The whining may be something internal in your tranny or it could even be something like a wheel bearing.

When will Porsche come out with their own pickup truck?

Mercedes is considering (http://www.autoweek.com/article.cms?articleId=102318) building one. Since pickups sell really well in the U.S. maybe Porsche can make some more money.
