I need some advice, my 66 mustang overheated last week and I immediately shut it down. Replaced radiator, thermostat and hoses...now im getting serious blow-by from my value cover breather cap...cracked or warped heads? Blown head gasket? Or something even worse, broken ring(s)? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Depending on how hot it got it may have collapsed the rings .

Yeah, checking cylinder compression now, I started working on timing, gears are worn, timing chain has a lot of slack..hopefully it's just a heads gasket or something a little less extensive. We'll see soon enough.

Sorry for the slow response, finally got the motor rebuilt, finished it 2 weeks ago... changed the pistons (few were damaged), rings, lower bearings, oil pump..all the gaskets. And few other minor things. Pictures to follow....thanks for all help...
