water blowing out exhaust and water in oil pan

I am restoring a 1969 Dodge D100. I recently overhauled the 6cly 225 engine. I had the block vatted and bored, the crank ground, new cam, pistons, oil pump and bearings and had the heads completly redone milled, ground, new valves and seats. I assembled the engine and installed back in truck. I started the engine periodically while working on other issues on one ocassion I noticed water leaking from the heater box. It was just detoriated hoses from sitting over the years but I found the heater valve was bad. The truck sat idle for several months while I located a new heater valve once back together I cranked it without problems and it ran great. Today while still working on other issues I cranked it again and as I walked around to the front of the truck water was pouring out of the exhaust pipe. I shut it off and checked the oil and it appeared a little milky. I checked the radiator and there was no water in it, I tried filling up the radiator and it would not fill I then removed the dipstick and it was milky about 3/4 up the stick. I left it out and continued to fill the radiator until I observed milky oil overflowing from the dip stick tube. I replaced all gaskets during the overhaul and the engine have never gotten hot and has probably only ran about 30 minutes over the last six months. any suggestion as to what the problem may be with the new overhaul.

I think you have a minor crack in the head. If you pull it look over the head gasket throughly but I would take the head to a meachine shop and have it pressure tested. It also may be slightly warped. They can also fix this for you.
Use a flashlight and look very closely between cylinders for a crack they can bore and sleeve to fix this. I've found this but it normally is a head problem
Ask the machine shop as they do a lot more of these and can tell you exactly where to look.
