Yeah, it's in the garage now. Haven't got a chance to tear into the engine yet. My brother had his car in our garage cus he was working on it today, so I had to wait. It's a 2 car garage but the other side is occupied with stuff, lol. I didn't get it into the garage until late Thursday nite. I'm planning to start working on getting the head off on Friday.

I did clean it up real good, it was filthy inside and needed a good washing outside. It looks a lot better now after a good vacuuming and washing. Engine bay is still filthy though. Gonna have to give it a good cleaning. Probably will pull the engine to give it a going over.

Just from looking at the cam covers, looks like he was trying to get some of the bolts off, but they must have been stuck/stripped cus a few of the bolt heads are drilled up and ground on. Those will be fun to get out, uggh. Guess I need some cam cover bolts too. This guy was not much of a mechanic. Luckaly, I am, lol.

I'll post some better pics of its current state tomorrow.
