I just got the car home and first things first I pulled the dip stick and wow. It looks like a McDonalds chocolate milk shake was pored down into the oil pan. May have to do more than just replace a head gasket. What is everyones thoughts.

Depends if it was run like that or just leaked down from sitting. Hope the heads arent cracked too. Might have yourself a little project there...

P.S. Not everyone knows what you've got so you might have to tell the story on this car and make a signature.

If it sounds fine, then its probably nothing bad, but then again you never know. Either way I would pull the heads and have them checked, that dont cost much. Then put on new gaskets and call it the day.....Then go do some burnouts with ur new Lt1 6 spd.lol
