With an iron block and heads you should EXPECT to see rust water, especially if it's been sitting a while.
I'd just take a hose, fill it up half way, put my hands on both ends and slush the thing back and forth, I'd do this until the water coming out is crystal clear. That's how you flush a radiator the poor mans way. Elbow grease goes a long way. Last 2 times I've done my radiator I've just removed the lower and upper hose and sealed a garden hose with my hand on the upper to pressurize the that side of the radiator into pushing the sediment through the fins. A good way to check that a radiator is working is to use your hand, feel the hot parts and move your hand down, if the lower fins are cooler they're most likely clogged, do a reverse flush and hope that fixes it.
