Save yourself, pay someone to properly fix the engine. Not your Uncle. No reason to break the intake. Time to bow out and save yourself money and time.

You drove it 15 miles with a possible blown head gasket and cylinders that were full of coolant??? I think a blown head gasket is the least of your issues at this point. Oh yea, don't listen to a lot of old timers that "used to work on muscle cars" the car world has changed greatly since their days.
