As black engine paint is gone, perhaps the engine was built up from complete tear-down.
Would have a been a good opportunity to weld crank.
Might also have heavy duty valve springs, and possibly heavy duty clutch springs.
Perhaps an oil gate added to pan.
Good Fortune!

Has Dyna coils.
Might also have Dyna-S electronic ignition. Or earlier Dyna ignition. Or possibly some other brand electronic ignition.
Oem ignition was points.
Kawasaki went from points to factory electronic ignition on 1979 KZ1000.

And back then, lots of owners were replacing the air box with pods.
A thicker and more substantial right front motor mount was also a popular aftermarket accessory.
And look for slotted cam chain sprockets (maybe diy slots), necessary to degreeing cam timing.

I appreciate your input! Considering that it has some of the hop-ups i'm trying to decide whether to use pod filters or to try finding a stock intake setup. Also, when it comes to a battery i assume that a YB10A-A (12V 10 Ah)would suffice. Would there be any problem with using a 12V 12Ah battery?

I just went ahead with the stock 12v 10Ah battery and I am almost ready to attempt to fire this beast up!! I am just waiting on two front chain cover bolts and an Oil Filter assembly.
