I've spent the last month or so installing my new motor. I got it done however when I was pouring coolant in the radiator and then coolant starting pouring out of the block near the back of the block and passenger side.
I can feel around and the block is dry so that makes me think its not a freeze plug or something. I dont think I put the small gasket things back on the coolant crossover lines, but would that make it gush out???

It turns out there was a plug towards the back of the passenger side head that we had forgotten to swap over to the new engine. So I took it off my old heads and fixed it up. Car is running great
