Helppp !!! W/ my evo 8 engine

Good morning evo community , haven’t drive my evo in 2 years , how’s time to get this BEAST back on the road !!
i ran E85 only in my evo it’s fully built Motor w/ 2.3 stroker ,
last ti
e tu drive the car was about 2 years ago I was driving and did a pull and my antifreeze hose that connects to the motor and radiator popped out ,
Since then I had to drive it home I lived about 5 min away ,
After about doing my own diagnoses , I tried to change my radiator but it did not work at all ,
started to smoke from the headers in the front ,
I sprayed soap and turned on the motor and I sprayed everywhere to find a leak , not only did I find the leak but I looked fevrywbere for anything else and it seemed to be smoking from the Head Gasket please if anybody can help me !!! I’m willing to rebuild my evo back to normal and even better
I want to switch any parts that I have to , including the feed lines to the fuel rail to new fuel injectors

Different thing might've gone bad since you drove it without coolant (even 5 minutes could've been enough to cook the engine).
Have your mechanic take a look on it.

You blew the head gasket, it pressurized the cooling system and popped off a coolant line. Pull the head and get it resurfaced, check the block with a straight edge to make sure you didn't warp it. If it's still level put a head gasket and you should be good to go. There may be an underlying issue to why the head either lifted or the gasket blew out. Would be a good idea to get the injectors cleaned and have someone check the tune before you start doing pulls on it again. If the E85 clogged up one of the injectors that cylinder will go lean and cause problems.

Yes I was running lean for a bit didn’t have a job at the time so I couldn’t really fix it, had no issues for awhile until that happened I don’t drive the car at all I can say it’s neglected but I have a valid reason just had a new born at the time when it had happen , didn’t get to it around much , been driving dirty for the past 2 years too couldn’t drive my evo like that also.
which means I’m Swapping everything I’m running a 6265 Precision turbo old skool from awhile ago I think it’s time to swap out the hot parts and make a dump on it but , talk is cheap actions speak louder than words I have a freaking beast that’s sleeping for 2 years already , this year is the year for the Evo!!!(550Hp 3xx or 4xx Tq Im not sure don’t remember)
