Re: Looking for help
Welcome Todd! Assuming the bolt that got broken is a head stud, the head will eventually have to come off. But first, I would get the motor running as it sits. Drain all fluids and check for sludge and rust (tranny and rear end included), in the oil pan and tank. Pull the valve cover off and make sure things are moving and there is no rust/sludge in the holes that feed oil to the main bearings.
Do a compression check, check the whole ignition system, from the battery to the points. Fill her up and start her up. After you get her running for a bit then change out the head gasket-or do it before. As mentioned by 700, go find a club there is a wealth of info at your fingertips there.
