Sounds like engine rebuild time to me. I can offer sympathy I was driving my 1955 400 on the pennsylvania turnpike in 2005 now admittedly I am a bit of a leadfoot and was doing about 70 mph then I heard this bang and saw clouds of black smoke coming from the tailpipes. I pulled to the side of the road and called triple A then I saw that awful sight antifreeze coming out of the exhaust pipe. Later when I took it to the shop that rebuilt the engine the rebuilder says so Mike how many miles did the owner tell you this car had on it? I said 89K he said add about 200K to that figure. I must admit however he did a great job of rebuilding it the engine, recored radiator for less than $5000 including parts and labor.

Just a shot in the dark. I had this happen to an OT car. And it was(possibly) a cracked intake letting coolant in my carb.

Whip.
When I get to it. And I am putting non surfaced heads on. Then go from there. This engine only has a few thousand miles on it. Before the first blow. It was seeping into the valve train. So I am pretty sure it's the head.
