Should not be that hard to find. My guess is freeze plug. Head studs and what head gaskets?

Who did the paint work? From the pics it looks to be a nice job. You even got bling on the thermostat housing.

felpro gaskets


we did the paint, well my dad did, it looks good from a couple of feet but some bugs got in it while it was sitting in a couple spots, and the body/rear bumper arn't painted. has a few scratches in the roof from the previous owner letting their kids use it as a jungle gym/ storage.

Nice car and very good 1/8th mile times for just a 306. I wouldn't be afraid to throw a 150 shot at it if it was my car.
