j/k, It's a shame, hopefully you just blew a minor gasket, and not the head gasket. Does that have head studs in it?
nope, ARP head bolts

and as for the LS 408...nope...more like

a mild H/C/I 408 would make more hp and tq than my blown 302, for comparison

Good luck. You may have cracked the welds on the intake.

well its off but i dont see anything really wrong...only thing i really noticed was that some of the bolts were barely tight

i was going to retorque them like josh told me to...but people kept asking for rides

heres what it looks like now...any ideas? gaskets all looked alright besides getting a little mangled from the RTV around the water ports, and i dont see any cracks in the intake manifold itself. just a nice milky mess.





I noticed this bit of water behind the intake before i took anything off:













it looks sad

Keep looking, something had to let that coolant in. If you don't find anything with the head gaskets get the heads checked..

If there's no problem with the head gaskets then I would guess something is cracked somewhere to let that much coolant in. How did the spark plugs look? If one is a lot cleaner than the others, then that would be the cylinder where the problem is.
