so how much coolant is there left in the radiator and reservoir? i know there is two coolant lines going through the throttle body, one day i took them off and it flooded the spark plug valley like you said.
when i was rebuilding this seized engine a while back i found that it over heated and the piston welded itself to the cylinder sleeve and the connecting rod bent itself trying to push the seized piston. your connecting rod probably broke but doesn't necessarily mean it has to go through the block.

anyways good luck! hopefully its not expensive to repair and let us know what happens!
