Default Major problems

Hey guys , I Had swapped my heads and cam on my 98z , i switched to the 99+ heads, swapped my comp 918's and titanium retainers over and popped htem on the car, also put in MTI's X1 cam. I have taken most pcv crap out and made block off plates. However when i started the car it ran decent for a little while and then it shut off and upon opening the hood i see there is coolant in the intake and in the oil. I started it up again and see a mist of coolant coming up towards the lid... is it possible that i owned the headgasket ? if so why would coolant be getting into the intake?? i'm confused...does anyone have a picture of where the coolant lines go from the radiator out ?

i'm under the assumption that it could be 3 things , headgasket might be pinched, intake manifold gasket might be cracked?, or the coolant line from the throttle body might be on the wrong part of the throttlebody
