If it were me for the price of a gasket kit I'd tear it down & have a look but if you aren't gonna have any more skill than the previous person working on it..... Get to know someone who may do some motor wrenching. Learn some stuff. A factory service manuel for your year 318 will instruct you 99.5% and the rest is right here. YOU GOT TO HAVE ONE TO REBUILD YOUR MOTOR. You definitly should take it apart before running it. You should do it, it will be very rewarding and that's what these old cars are about. I'm thinking you may find someone that might dis assemble and re assemble it for around $500-750 labor plus gaskets or parts. If the gaskets were put on right, a lot of them will be reusable too. You should do it.
