If the headgasket makes it run again its worst problem will be rust. The end of
its life will most likely come from rust.

Pull the head, if its not cracked do a head gasket. If it is cracked, part
out or scrap the car.

There is another (odd!) mode of failure; I had a 617 weep out of the passenger

it to the DPO putting green in the radiator.

Drop the oil pan and swap out the gasket. Clean the intake and exhaust
manifolds. Refinish the exhaust manifold to remove rust/corrosion and give it
a good painting.
