Welcome, need to be more specific as to what engine that you want, 350, 455? Did you crack the block, head? seize it?

electraman87

Did not seize the block. pouring oil out left head, right at gasket. no water in oil. But water is pouring out the tailpipe. Radiator is shot. big rip right on the weld. It is a 350 1972 #7 heads

You are going to have to remove that head. It sounds like the engine over heated and besides the damage to the radiator the head has cracked as well. You are probably in for a top rebuild at the least. Welcome to CO and keep us posted on what you find out.

Thanks everyone. Anymore info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the site! If you end up needing a head or even an engine it would be good to post your location. If you can find something local it will save $$ on shipping costs. John

Head gasket.

While the head is off, have the combustion chambers magnafluxed. It's the area where Olds heads are prone to crack. If good, check the surface with a straight edge and a .001" feeler gauge. If good, put it back together with a new gasket.
