i'd worry about the coolant leak unless you can see it in the intake valley. generally, the hoses or the orings on the y-pipe in there leak.

the blocks can corode, the thin spot is above the oil filter. if the wrong antifreeze was used, that happens. i'd also worry about the heads, gaskets and cylinder liners. the motor stuff aside, the harnesses are terrible, especially with the v6 in either body. if you have to have a v6, hold out for a late b280. if you have to have an early 700, get an 84 b23t 760. good luck, chuck.
