sound like you have a crack in the block my 450 used to do that it cracked in the water jacket. Somone left water in it and and then drained it in the summer when it was warm and then what would happen when the block got hot and the antfreeze started boiling it would boil thru the crack and into the block and it would sould like a back fire. You might be able to take the head off and buy a new head gasket and then when you have the head of clean the surface were the head sits see if you have any cracks if not pull pistons 1 and 3 and then look and fell for any cracks. That is usally were they crack the most. If not pull the other two pistons just to make sure. When you put the pistons back make sure you dont mess up they bearins on the bottom of the rod make sure evry piston you pull right after you take it out the bottom peice goes righback on the rod if you mix them all up the engine rods are junk. Also when putting the engine back together make sure that the noch inside the rod were the crank rides is pointing towards the cam or to the side with your distributor is. How much did you pay for the thing and were do you live if you live near by maybe I can come over and help you out or call you and help you out over the phone. It can be fixed.
