I just bought an 89 T-bird (3.8L engine) and the guy I bought it from told me it has been sitting for about a year and a half because of a blown headgasket. He replaced the headgaskets, got the heads checked for cracks and warpage, and had a valve job done on them recently (about 2months ago)...

Ok Engine is all together, idles fine and sounds great. but when I get to 3k rpms the engine stops pulling almost completely and it rearely lights up the tires. What could this be? Could it be a timing issue. It seems like my car doesnt like 10* it likes WAY more than that (yes I installed...
