Well good news and bad news. Here's what we were told: Head gasket is fine. Never leaked. Bad things:
*#8 cylinder is down to 125 in compression, all 7 others are good (between 155 and 160)
*4 fuel injectors are shorted and dumping fuel
*Coolant temp sensor malfunctioning, causing car to run rich..I think he said it was sticking in choke mode..
*Needs t-stat/switch
*IAC is screwy
*Throttle Position Sensor is bad, checked it with a voltmeter
*Needs various drivetrain parts
*Differential cover is leaking
*Needs u-joints
*Lower control arms and bushings
*Harmonic balancer is shot, needs to be replaced right away
*Radiator mounted incorrectly

Furthermore..it doesn't have a cam in it..previous owner lied..motor is all stock, and he actually knew the owner of the car previously, the one before the guy I bought it off of, which also lived in or very near my city, and he said the car was nitroused (hence the safety-covered toggle switch near shifter)

That's all for now.. Dad is fronting me all the money so it's gonna be repaired in a few weeks...god I'm gonna owe him so much.. Very rough estimate: $1000
Not bad eh?? Let's hope it stays that low....
