oilpan full of water

I agree,hoping for the best but not holding my breath.looking at all other options from a 5.7 hemi with 6 speed stick to a long block 340 to a newer rollor 360.not sure the best way to go on a budget and the more I read on this stuff the more confused I get.right now been keeping busy doing all the clean up and prep work like cleaning and painting oil pan,intake,k member,bellhousing,ect.ect.ect.pulled bench seat and put in buckets,of coarse the floor pans had some surface rust,so had to clean that up and pore 15 them before installed seats.took both doors apart and got everything working right.had a lot of firewall leaks (that explans the bad floor board condition) that needed attention.new clutch rod boot and some bolt replacement ,think I've got that fixed.headers had some wear spots on bottom so cleaned up and welded wear pad on,have to check what caused that when going back together.had the car for almost a month and think I've got about 120 hours in already.well ,gives me something to do at 4:00 a.m. Better than the casino
