Did your headers have orings grooves in them? If so stop. It won't seal. Also the early orings won't work on the late setup. You got the only ford parts monkey that went by the early parts pic. Good luck. If you need the correct parts I have spares.

If pulling the heads isn't worth it, why not try the water pump next. I'm trying to think what's down low where three gallons would make it run out, other than maybe oil cooler or water pump. I doubt it would be up to the heads as that point...

Filled rad with water it will take 3 gallons then water starts to run out the oil pan bung
Water is running out of the oil pan drain plug .Confused here. Are you talking bout the block drain plug? If the water is running out of anything but the rad neck, something is not reinstalled.
Mike what the original poster is saying is when he has about 3 gallons of water added to the cooling system he has water coming out the open oil pan drain hole. So something is wrong for that much water to pass thru into the oil pan. I have no idea what kind if any coolant was used before this happened but.. If no coolant was used my bet it the plate behind the water pump has a hole eaten thru it. Really not much more could pass that much water so quickly.
What I drained out was clear and looked good I only changed it because I had no idea what was in there . I used prestone as it has a good reputation here , What we drained out the rad and block to do the cooler was clear , I also tested it to check if it may have frozen by putting some in my freezer it was still liquid at -22Not knowing what if any coolant was in the truck when you got it leaves many in the dark. Did you drain out antifreeze coolant or just rusty water? In the US we like using steam distilled water mixed in the coolant. It has no minerals in it nor does it conduct electricity. We can also buy deionized water or reverse osmosis water. I like using good old steam distilled water.
