Still here, still working on it. I've determined the valve cover gaskets and the rear of the intake gasket are leaking, so the top half of the engine is tore off.
Local shop said radiator and alternator are both junk - not surprised.
And now, I've gotten this far in the teardown I am considering a crate 350 from GMPP. A local transmission shop quoted me $2000 for a late 700R4 installed, fully rebuilt.
