you know, since this guy needs a new head gasket, i figure id ask a question for BOTH of us... everyone knows these engines were made with asbestos, and when they stopped using it, the gaskets blew easier. now my question is: is it possible to get ahold of an asbestos head gasket still?

Research a machine shop that will make sure the head is flat and see what they charge to do a valve job just in case it needs one. If it's warped, the gasket will fail. Typically I lap valves and use these opportunities to install cams etc... However that's money you might not have.
Price your gasket set which will include much more than just the head gasket.
Search the site for other things to change while you are in there.
There are lots of performance related mods you can do but if you don't have the cash just cover the critical stuff.
And lastly, search because in the 20+ years since that engine came out, it's been fixed and discussed quite a bit.

the condition of your oil sounds just like the oil i drained from my rear differential after it sucked in water. So you probably have water or coolant in the oil.

x2. pull your timing cover and check the condition of the cover. This is an easy and cheap do-it-yourself fix if the chain chewed through a water jacket in the cover. Plenty of info onsite for this problem.
