Re: Nasty coolant. Bad head gasket?

Things to check first are:

1. intake gaskets
2. heater hose connections
3. heater core

Add the plastic tanks on the radiator and those are the most common leak areas on that engine. I can't say I have ever seen a head gasket on a 350 go bad without severe overheating first.
