hey everyone new guy here I just picked up a 94 base model 3.8 with a blown head gasket (second one on the same car) I have an 88 5.0 motorand trans, how much trouble will it be or am I just wasting my time, I had a 67 GTA Fastback back in high school built from the ground up and I have been waxing nostalgic to build another Crazy Horse. I'm not a total newb I wrench on cars part time for extra cash came from a family of mechanics but still would appreciate some input

Honestly, probably just wasting your time, 94/95 5.0's are cheap, if you like that body style , just buy one.
