Thanks for the advice guys. I am going to say the antifreeze entered the cylinders when I pulled the heads. Antifreeze poured everywhere when I pulled it off. THe other four cylinders did not have any antifreeze when pulled.
Now for the gaskets... When I pulled everything I could tell they have seen better days, but nothing terrible. I am going to pull the oil pan in the upcoming days and this will tell me but more about how the engine was doing. I ran the car for about 10 minutes and heard no valve taps of bad bearings. It actually sounded healthy for such an old motor besides the leaking exhaust manifold. I will update everyone when I get further in the project.
The heads showed signs of carbon build up, but not bad either. How hard is it to pull freeze plugs with the block in the car? When I pull the freeze plugs should I flush the block out ?
