If you found one and have driven it and it doesnt overheat then there is probably not a head geasket problem but it is good to do a pressure leakdown and see whats up. Other than that working on them isnt hard just some tight places to get to. Not like GM's at all really they are more reliable. But as for if you are gonna turbo to n/a then I would say do the head gasket and have the head machined and block to then put a metal head gasket and ARP studs on it then you are pretty much set.
