Sorry to hear thatNot even a week after installing a new shifter cable, a new beast has reared its ugly head... I believe that Molly has blown a head gasket. More updates to come :/

Any update? Hope it's working out!
You are going to have new car when you are done!
What does a crate 3.8 run?
Sounds like a plan. I don't know who the rebuilder is but Google them. Find out what others who have used them think about their purchase. It would hurt to throw a grand at this and end up in the same boat.I've found one online that I can order for a little over $1K, without accessories. Most of the accessories on the old motor are brand new/ slightly used, so I'm just going to transfer them over because there is no sense in having that just wasted away. I'll have to buy some extra things like gaskets and I'll probably put in new hoses too, but that's the game plan for the moment. O'reillys and autozone have them w/ accessories for right at $2K and I just don't see the point in spending that extra money when all of the accessories I have were already new.
That is for a long block?
If you are ever planning boost, now would be a good time to replace the head bolts with ARP studs.
No special gaskets needed.
Torque according to ARP specs.
If you do this, order a tube of the ARP oil as well (specifically for torquing ARP hardware).
