overheated my car monday night

[WICKED 86 LX]

dont know if i posted in the right area,

i have a 86 mustang with a 351w

long story short i was rippin my car monday night alt bracket broke, cause my car to get hot like 250deg. barley made it to the house, let it cool off. then fired it back up ran fine for a sec or 2 started cungin real bad. shut it off. ran a compression check and it pulled 250pds of compression on all 8 holes none drop past 240(all plugs were removed to check). do you think i blew a head gasket or what. just wondering.

thanks for any info.

take radiator cap off and start it, are you getting any air bubbles or coolant coming out of radiator?

Reddog, If he is getting coolant or bubbles is that a sign of a blown head gasket? We have had some hose issues on our 93 lx and when I open radiator cap today got some back flow.

250 PSI of compression? You running like 15:1 compression in that thing?
