Save your money, time and aggravation.
Unless the body and interior are mint,
just spend a little more cash up front on a
good runner.

I wish,

My car has lost compression on a cylinder. I know its going be an expensive fix. Im not sure if its worth it.

Im wondering how much I could get for it.

You now possess a parts car unfortunately. Do you have any more insight into the issue?

The easiest and cheapest solution is to find an M60B40 block and do a swap.

I dont, I need a leak down test. I cant find anyone with one. I guess ill tow it to the local shop on monday and see whats up with it properly.

I am thinking head gasket but you never know. it is an Alsuil block. From looking and reading hg is gonna be 2k plus. Its an automatic too so that could feasibly go at any point as the car has 170k on it.

It will start now and again.

If I could get 1000 preferably 1500 out of it, I would not be out too much.

Sorry, Thought you were looking to buy.
Just buy a used short block and swap it yourself.
You can rent a cherry picker from most large auto parts stores.

Get a buddy, a case of beer and some burgers.
