When they were loading it on the flatbed a couple ounces of antifreeze came out of each muffler. Head gaskets??
That would definetly be my best guess. Pull the plugs and turn it over you will probably see lots of anti freeze exit the holes.Dont let it sit without draining the pan and at least 2 quick oil changes after turning it over a few more times with the plugs out. I would drain the rad before turning the engine over after the first purge or loosen the water pump belt and fire it up for a brief time between the oil changes then pull the heads and replace the gaskets...High compression gets you sometimes..
