Intake gasket leak

farny21 · 04-30-2010

I fired up the 331 for the first time today but as i was putting fluid in it for the first time it started leak around the intake and head and than ran it for a few then it leaked at the driverside rear, so its the passenger side front and dr side rear. it has 289 hipo heads on it with a gt-40p intake and used 97 exploder intake gaskets, do i need to use 289 gaskets or i also plugged my heater core outlets on the pump, do i need to conect the two?

have another problem, theres white foam in the oil filler neck which i would think is coolant but theres none in the pan and the puke tank is smoking when its up to temp but it runs well to be a head gasket, might have bad heads!
