Dimsi, yep, I saw that. the second time I looked at the book 

I ended up using the strap wrench and got everything off, but that stud came off with the bolt that was threaded in it. So now that is also going to need to be replaced as well.

I know everyone is going to yell at me, but...... I took into the shop this morning mainly because I'm not going to have time to work on it and I dont want all those internal parts getting rusted by sitting out. So we are going to hear from a very reliable shop that also ONLY charges me for parts whats wrong with it as well as what I'm actually working with bore, and porting wise since the prevous owner swapped in an 86 motor into the 85 frame I'm assuming they did not keep it stock. (on account that I would not)

so with that being said I'm either looking at a MONSTER LT or a busted A** parts motor.
