    This is getting worse and worse
    How about a reman?


    Or you could convert it to Rwd and do a 5.0 swap

    This is the only thing I can think of assuming nothing was overlooked. A leak test will tell you exactly what the problem is.....

    I still highly recommend a good used factory built engine opposed to rebuilding the original.....

    I'd be glad too. Don't have that much cash though. And its almost as much as I owe on the car. Which sucks!!

    Got the head off. All intake valves were bent open. Bottom end looks perfect. We inspected my original head more and its good. Were gonna put my head on this motor Saturday. Gotta order head gasket and head bolts.
