Cobra head job

Soooooo the thermostat got stuck shut on the cobra the other week... My father did not realize that the car was overheating and managed to blow the head gasket... The motor was almost hydro-locked. So woodies diagnosed it for us. Its now sitting at Andys Mustangs in Hazel Green. Hopefully it should be back on the road soon....
