Here are the questions I have:
(I'm not a mechanic.)

1. Is it possible to have it leak from a head gasket? It appears to leak about in the middle, close to the dipstck.

2. If it is a cracked cylinder head, what should I pay for a replacement? And are they available? Are the left and right different?

3. If is a cracked block, then is it a just a boat anchor?

4. Does the tranny come out with the engine? It is a granny-lo floor shifter. There are column shift stubs on the steering column, so I'm sure the tranny is not original.

5. Will an inline-six bolt to the existing perches? Transmission? This might be an option if the V6 is not rebuildable.

Thanks for any answers.
