My son and I peruse CL for fixer uppers to flip, most are asking book for something that you can't even test drive and they disappear off CL so someone is buying them. |

Here's the car, a little walk around, start up and run. There's a some coolant leak from at least a metal block under the electrical box (between reservoir and battery) and above the trans. Is that some sort of cooler? Maybe the reason the trans fluid read high is that it has a bunch of water in it.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Good to know about the cover. A little surprised the head removal is that long as it seems relatively exposed.
Are the head bolts reusable, or are they all torque to yeild?

Ha ha ho ho ho... a FWD cylinder head job SUCKS. Id rather do both your heads, and mine than a FWD car. It's all about the side of the motor, getting the timing belt off. You'll need to remove a 5" wide bracket and 8" long bolts, from the 2" area between the frame and the motor.
