Just replaced my fuel pump on Tuesday, which was leaking into my oil pan, so new pump, new oil filter, and new oil. About 8 hours ago, leaving the house with full oil, drove into town.

As I was getting onto a parkway on-ramp, as I was shifting from 2nd to 3rd, got a shutter and the engine sputtered and cut off, followed by a nice sized puff of smoke that I noticed from my rear view (don't know the color, it was dark).

Figured it might have been oil hitting the hot tail pipe that did that. Looked under the truck with my trusty MagLite and saw antifreeze dripping from the tip of my tailpipe. Is this indicative of a blown headgasket? By the way I checked the dip stick while waiting for a tow and I barely got 1/4 inch up of oil.

Again, I'm completely out of my element here. It's a 1966 250 fresh rebuild with about 10,000 miles on it. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
