About a year and a half ago I went and looked at a cherry 91 LS. The owner said it had a blown head gasket. After about two hours of fooling around with various things, Fasteddy poured some gas in the intake and it fired right up. I payed the man 400 bucks and drove off. The battery was toast and was replaced on the ride home. I then decided to remove each spark plug wire to see which cylinder was dead. It turned out that one of the wires wasnt fully seated. The lesson of this story is that something very small is being missed. Id be willing to buy that rig just from the photos you posted and drive it back to Georgia and fix it. Dont send the rig the the junkyard. Give someone else that doesnt live in that insane state a chance to take it off your hands and fix it up.
