OK
I got the Plenum off the buick. Removed a bunch of stuff.
How many bolts hold the heads on?
Anyone have any pics or anything?

What engine does it have? By plenum, I'm assuming intake manifold stuff. You'll most likely have to remove the valve covers and timing belt or chain unless you have an OHV engine. What year and model and stuff...??

suggestion: dump the car and get something that isn't half in the grave already.
that whole motor needs to be replaced.. probably the dransmission and differential, too from the sounds of the shape of that thing.

Transmission is good, as I just replaced it.
Motor is pretty much rebuilt except rings and bearings...
May as well keep going IMO, already got enough money into it. $200 more of parts and it will be good for a long time...
Time to start pricing bearings and rings, oh joy!

if you dont do the rings and bearings....all youve done is everything above the deck....which is far from a rebuild....
