antifreeze in oil and loud knocking Well i have enjoyed my ws6 for four years now without a problem one week ago we had storms moving in so i pull my car under my carport till the storms pass. Two days later i go out and try to start it but it wont turn over so i think its just the battery so i get an optima. go out to start it and it starts knocking like crazy sounds like its coming from the motor so i drain some oil and notice i have antifreeze in the oil. i need some help figuring this one out my guess is a rod and possibly cracked head or block has anyone had a problem similar to this

Is it anti freeze, or water....I've heard of people that had eater run into the engine compartment from the cowl and leak down in around the intake gaskets and actually hydrolock the motor.
I'd say pull it now, tear it down and see what you can save

Go for an assembled forged block. Youll saved a lot of trouble and money down the road(happened to me), unless you are an experienced machinist/mechanic. Or a used LS2. But Take the opportunity to have a 408+ci stroker. I've seen some iron 408/427 for 3500$.. Not that much more dough than a stock ci SB. just a exemple; http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item...id=46&catid=28
..I ended up going for a used forged 347 some years ago; the engine needed new bearings and its been delivered to me sitting unwrapped with sand on/in it!!! It did cost me 500$ less than a new SB, but now I really wish I had a 408 for 500$!!!!..I didnt know what I was doing at the time..

Intake bolts were probably loose and it got rain water in the intake and it hydroed. Look at the side of the block along the oil pan and see if anything looks broken out or bent. Could have crack a cylinder liner too, that you won't see tell you pull the heads.
