okay so i finally got everything off the motor and the heads off. When i got it running the 1st time i noticed it had a exhaust leak. It turns out it had a big one. The guy we bought it from didnt do the head gasket right at all and when he hooked everything back up he had plastic wire ties connecting the down pipe to the exhaust manifold well we all know how plastic is with head and they melted off so the down pipe was just hanging there not connected at all ..i swear people sometimes just dont know what there doing. He also broke the drivers side door handle and he put a new one on the passenger side but he just put it in its not connected to anything . I will keep everyone updated on it and get pics up asap
 
very unfortunate. did you know it was in such condition when you bought it? how much did you pay for it?
 
he just said it needed a head gasket which technically it does but he just did it horrible wrong and i only paid $350 for it so im still pleased with my purchase
