Im pretty sure that it needs headgaskets but I was hoping that it could also be the intake gasket. I took the car out for a test drive after putting the whole topend on it and as soon as I went to punch the gas coolant shot out of the overflow all over the motor and then overheated. I started it up today and after not even running for 2 minutes I opened the radiator cap and antifreeze shot out like the car was fully warmed up. Now when I rev the motor with the cap off coolant spews out. Like I said im pretty sure it has to be a headgasket but if its possible that its an intake gasket I would rather replace those.

thats definitly a head gasket, when you remove the intake you will probly be able to see where the gasket is actually "pushed" out from between the heads and the block.
