A very sad day

[Srubydo1986]

My truck died to day. it got to hot to fast and i blew a head gasket. so know it has water in the oil and oil in the radator (can tell cause it smells like oil. She still run hard and strong but im not going to drive it again tell thats fixed. But becasue that went bad i thought i might as well fix my next problem to she has an oil leak from hell. burns oil about a quart ever week or so can smell it.

Im take the engine out Again and replace all gaskets and replace the seal and all in the heads. also might as well see if the heads are still good and not worped. Or just get another set. And because im there might as well make the truck a roller. The worst of it all shes my daily drive and so im still screwed.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel i just bought another 1986 gmc for 150.00 with a 305 ho out of an 80s montecarlo has the center bolts down the valve cover like my 350 dont know if they are the same. And as for trasportation im buying a late 80 early 90s vw golf 5 speed for 350 in perfect shape. it not a very attractive car but im not worried.

So here what i need to know.
*Are the 305s head same as my 1989 jimmys heads. incase mine ar done.
* What should i look for with it issue of overheating.


Ps. the over heated engines has 220,000 mile thought its about time to rebuild it.

Also here a picture of the engine the first time i installed it



And heres the truck hate to take it apart but if i need the parts


Any idea or thought would be greet to hear
