It is an auto, but I have a new rad in it, just installed. After changing engine oil yesterday, I ended up with about 5.5qts in. Today, I drove it around about 20miles to warm it up and check tranny fluid, it looks fine. Engine oil looks high again unless my eyes are bad. I wiped out the filler tube before. Here is what it looks like after the ride.
It smokes, only it quit a handful of times. I did want to do an engine swap, but not this soon. Was hoping it could hold off until I get my garage done.. working in the mud sucks. If the heads are cracked maybe I could find some cheap used ones, or put some new ones on.
My valve covers are turned down, so i'm guessing I would need a set from a later model if I put the newer style heads on? will heads from a 1990 work on mine? Like these?
They only come with guides and seats..

These from ebay are complete for an 86-92, they look like they have the bigger rocker arm surfaces.
