yeah, that was my thinking. But I am not sure how to replace a head
Well, you unbolt it and replace the gasket before you bolt it back down - bolting in the correct order and the correct torque. Then you hook everything back up.
You can also air up your tires and just push it back a few feet. Then do that every couple of months. It's a little late to do that now, but who knows? It might save 'em, or make 'em last long enough to safely get to the tire store as things improve.
I have moved it a foot or two once a month or so
Then your tires may still be good enough to get you to the tire store. So, you've got that going for you.
You raise a good point with the idle electronics. That could end badly, as things have had time to oxidize.
Replacing any of that is gonna be hard - unless there's a mass-produced Ford that's interchangeable.
