The heads don't look bad. I believe they were resurfaced when the engine was rebuilt, approximately 2000 miles ago. I think the water pump is ok too. My pics make it look worse that it is. The impeller is smooth and there's minimal rust inside the housing.
I added a couple more pics. The head in the bottom of the picture was the side where the head gasket blew thanks to this junk clogging things up.

I'm not sure of the origin of the hoses, they were on the car when I purchased it. I've had it for 3 years, but I believe the restoration was done about 10 years ago.

I'm not sure what the PO used, I believe antifreeze. I ran antifreeze and water, but it puked a few times before I added one of Skip Haney's valves on the overflow. I refilled it with water when it got low.
