Son's Latest Project...this will take a big bite...coolant leak!

So my Son bought a 'running' 96 Mustang for a couple hundred bucks. His intent was to mess with it and make it a hotrod. Ya, that year set isn't the best but for a small investment of his money...what ever.

Well, she ran but was blow some serious steam out the tail pipe. He knew before he got it that the engine was rough and just figured he would pull it and drop in something else. He took an oil sample and found it tan - coolant leak. He decided that it was most likely a head gasket so he set into replacing it. After taking of one head this is what he found...





His exact words "Wow! I can't believe this engine even ran with that much coolant in the chamber! testimony on the Ford V6 3.8 huh Dad!!!"

Well, that's positive spin....

Anyone have a V8 that will sell him?
