sweet dude! I got mine (85) for $100 with the same issue. Not a super difficult repair for a decent off road vehicle

not too hard, just get a chilton's, since it has the torque specs. Also, take pic's as u go because the wiring and vacuum are abnormal at best. I think the hardest part for me was when the timing chain fell in while it was being towed. otherwise, the intake manifold is a PITA to get back in and not destroy the gasket.
