Blown head gaskets, possibly more damage?

I've got an 88 v6 celebrity that blew both head gaskets. The water sat in the engine for a couple weeks before I drained the oil. There was more water in the cylinders when I finally got the heads off a month or two later.

The mixture of liquids in a couple of the cylinders were a weird shade of orange.

Question, possibly how much was the engine damaged by rust if it sat there that long? Are my rings or block going to be messed up? Obviously I'll have to put new head gaskets on to tell if how bad it is, but I wanted to have an idea what to expect.]

Thanks for all the help!
