I picked up two cars for $500. A Notch and Hatch. Both '86 and they came with two 5.0 engines.

I'm working on the Hatch, but it's going to be a long go. I have pulled much of it apart already and will post start to now pics. Now I'm down to bare metal.

I've also taken apart one of the engines down to the block.

What would you do about this? Think I should weld it but I don't have any of that kind of equipment.
Driver and Pass Floor, Passenger under seat bolt holes, adn both corners of rear seat by wheel wells.
