She's home!

Auto trans shifts so smooth.
Has a nearly full tank of gas. :hick:
Tires look almost new.
Brakes very nice.

I can definitely hear a compression leak around 50mph coming from the pass side, And there is some low end weakness sometimes.
White smoke like a chimney at first startup and at idle.
Even despite all that (Head Gasket) She hauls Ass for a 200hp 4.3L V6.

Turns out shes got just under 240k miles, But you wouldnt know that looking at her. (I sure didnt)

The bad:
HG's of course.
Needs a good wash, Has weird caked on dirt in crevices.
Has a fracture/crack down the pass side windshield.
Needs battery, 2 Cells nearly didn't have any liquid in them... :punchballs:
Needs new dash lights.
Needs a radio, Had an after market installed and is missing.
Needs tabs.
That's about it that i noticed tonight on the negative side of things.

Ah, didn't realize it was the 4.3l. Those are great engines. Very strong.
