OK, found stage 2 Super H that's local for $1000. Missing the hood and the carb, and ...
There's antifreeze in the oil. He says there's no visible cracks on the block or head and he dropped the pan and didn't see anything looking up towards the pistons. He said that there were seals near the top of the sleeve that were the most likely culprit, but that of course there's no way to know for sure. Says he picked it up in a scrapyard and it looked like it had been in a pasture for a while before then.
I have no clue what other questions I should ask with something that major. Are there any diagnostics that can be done short of taking the head off?
I've looked at Super H prices on the net (and the price of a remanufactured head if it turns out to be cracked and a carb) and even with those problems $1000 still seems ballpark reasonable to me--but y'all would be in a better position to say.
