So... my odds... just aren't good without an overhaul of at least the head.... more than likely the entire engine if I find rust has spread through the internal workings of the head? Because it's probably gone everywhere like a cancer ?

I'll check for more rust. I work 12 hour nights but only 3 days one week and 4 the other so I'll be back out there Wednesday to check out the motor again. I sprayed everything down with penetrating catalyst and spray lubricants and oil hoping to free some stuff up a bit by letting it soak...

Ah I didn't think of that. Figured they hit a rock... maybe someone did use the tank to Jack the car up lol. The valve cover was on tight when I took it off .... but thinking back I don't remember seeing a crumbling 2 decade old gasket anywhere on there. Maybe it's been off before and left...

Interesting

Thanks lol I need to relocate that oil filter eventually. I don't like that spot. Hopefully there is a kit for that

The down side for me is that no one my age is building these things anymore... they like imports or modern muscle and I'm usually on my own. My dad still comes out to school me every now and then cuz he always knows tricks to do stuff simple and easy after he let's me struggle for 3 hours lol...
