HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I got a 240 - I6 that has exhaust comming out of the dip stick and oil is comming out of it as well? The valve cover at the PCV has exhaust comming out of it when it is under RPMs when I take it out like an exhaust pipe? Weird as hell but the comp reading is 182-192 I am so stumped I do not think it is a head gasket because there is no oil signature in the Radiator or not even that frothy? what can cause oil comming out of the dip stick at such an increase?

You don't have to have oil in the radiator for a head gasket failure. Your compression is way too high; maybe your gage is screwy. Is it overheating? You're going to have to pull the head and check things out, but you already know this.

I got a lead on a 351W I think that could plop in with the V8 mounts what do you think of that? it was not overheating at all either. Just think that it is loosing power every time I try to haul down the road. I think rather than put any more money into the six Ill just put in a V8.
