I have a 94 z28 lt1. I got a hole in my radiator hose and the car overheated. Now it starts fine but when it gets warm it accelerates funny kinda like its not getting gas. I checked the oil and it looked like there was coolant in it. There were little bubbles on the dip stick. do you know what is wrong with it? Is there a way to know if its the block, head, or head gasket without taking it apart

best thing to do here is to pressure check the engine and see if the pressure drops. then change oil to make sure there realy is water in it. if it's ahead gasket ther is usually oil in the coolant bottle.
