Engine apart now what??
Is there anything I should do to the intake manifold and intake plenum or dual cfi's while I have it in pieces?
Also I screwed up and let leaves and dirt go into the heads and stuff how big of a deal is it?? I put a pic up for u to see.

Not a big deal at all. Leaves are very combustabile so it will be like adding nitrous to your motor. The dirt will accumulate and help raise compression. Also increasing horsepower.

thanks, I needed a laugh after a long week, which included a trip to the dentist- and work was even more painful!. Humor.
Triple S-
Not sure what your plans are for your engine, but it likely needs significant cleaning if it is cheesed up as depicted in your photos and described in your post.
It is basically a matter of knowing how much time and money you wish to put into the engine and how many times you are willing to spend time and money on the engine.
I personally would pull the engine and go through it- it may be cost less in the long run- if you keep it.
But I don't know if you are looking to keep the car and drive it or keep it and race it or sell it to some poor unsuspecting schmuck.
That makes a difference in the game plan.
Can you provide more details of the overall plan?

Edit-
I don't see too many pine needles hanging out the head ports, but I do see some anti-freeze in the lifter valley.
Not sure how much anti-freeze made its way into the pan. If you just lightly clean re-asssemble, change the oil first- anti-freeze is hard on bearings.
