Shall we go over this head gasket problem, so maybe you don't do this for nothing?

solid start, but i'd go a little deeper and do a compression test and maybe a leak down depending on the results of the that.

for me, i want to know what's cookin' when i open it up. that way if i see something different or unexpected i can adjust my approach.

also, nothing sucks worse than doing a head gasket only to find out that you've got a cracked head... which you find out after getting it all back together.

In a Demon/Dart, all you need to do is detach 1 side of the motor mount, jack up that side a bit, and remove the bolts. Repeat on other side.
Don't think your engine compartment is THAT much tighter.
