As mentioned earlier, I'd file a dispute for the non-refunded amount with my credit card company.  Just explain that you specifically ordered Sachs parts and received TRW.  RockAuto refunded the cost of one because it was defective, and refunded part of the other because it wasn't Sachs as ordered.  You'd like the remainder of the money for your order refunded.  It's pretty straightforward.  Shouldn't have to explain further.  A lot of times, short explanations are better.

Most people at the CC company are probably familiar with the RockAuto ordering process, where you are presented several choices and select the brand you want, so should get why if you ordered one brand and received another, you would not be satisfied.

MustangTek claims those heads are 64 cc but since they are on the shelf and especially since they have been worked on, I would cc at least one chamber per head.  Cheap and easy.  You can then plug all the specifics into an online CR calculator (e.g. Wallace Racing) and see where you fall.

Also I think the inner core will only pull out from the speedometer end, not the transmission end, because of a crimped bead on the top end of the core wire.

More information about the engine/vehicle/situation would help.  Do you have an automatic transmission or power brakes?  Those both have vacuum lines that can leak.  Usually intake manifolds don't develop leaks after years of being fine.  Can happen I guess but not the norm.  Was the intake recently removed/reinstalled?  Any other work recently done to the engine for that matter?  Often things like this can start after working on something else (e.g. new condensers are often not of great quality).  What kind of carburetor and ignition (i.e. points, duraspark, etc.)?  You might check the spark quality by pulling the center wire from the distributor and having someone crank the engine while holding the end of the wire near the engine block.  Use gloves and insulated pliers, and it's easier to see indoors or when dark.  Should have a good blue spark.

Edit: Sorry - you mentioned in park, so it has an AT.  Did you block the line going to the vacuum modulator on the transmission in your earlier testing?

What is the timing at idle?  If you can bump it up some, it would allow the throttle plates to be closed more, which might make the mixture screws more responsive.

What kind of heads are on it?  More specifically, how many header bolts per head?  If it's the plain vanilla type with 8 bolts per head, I would definitely shoot for getting them all in before any leaks develop.  Others will probably have suggestions on bolt type and brands that can make the job easier (12 point or 5/16", etc).

I don't have direct experience either, but I've read that "E-85" can be "up to" 85% alcohol but supposedly it varies quite a bit from station to station and maybe even batch to batch.  E-85 compatible vehicles are able to sense the burn rate (or whatever) and automatically adjust the A/F mixture but with a carburetor, it seems like you'd have to be be much more certain of what you were running.  Might be doable for a race only situation?
