So i ended up just draining everything out and going with valvoline vr1. Did some more work and found the head gaskets to be really warped out of shape. i think they were too big, anyway ended up replacing them, now i can idle better!.
i'm not sure if the springs in the front were replaced to accommodate the weight of the engine though, definitely something ill need to look into. starting to find more problems but hey, old car right? next on the list is hydroboost, and figuring out how I'm going to replace the front driveshaft, i think its way too exposed, roughly 4 inches. thanks again to everyone who contributed their knowledge to this thread.
