After looking at the engine, and finding a little bit of rust on the inside of one of the valve covers (there might have been more if the inside of the valve covers hadn't been chromed as well as they are, I don't know) - I've decided the intake manifold was leaking, and was probably getting worse. No water/anti-freeze showing in the engine oil, or the lifer valley. With this being just an old used engine, I have decided to just remove it, and rebuild it or replace it with another engine I get rebuilt.
Wish me luck - and better time slips in the future.
