Backpressure issue

I have just finished (or so I thought) the repairs on my '93 Wagon, 3.8L V6.
I'd blown the head gasket and cracked the front head in 2 places.
Upon completion of my little project I go to start the car and I am now experiencing backpressure out of my radiatior. I have had one or two opinions given as to what could be the cause but I would not mind hearing a few more.

Welcome to the forum!
It sure sounds like you have a path from the combustion chamber to the cooling system, either due to cracked head, a head gasket issue, or a cracked block.
