I meant not to upset anyone and I'm sure you know more about Mustangs than I do but I grew up in the muscle car era and running without a radiator cap on those high compressoin motors for a couple of blocks would cause the cooling system to belch out everything in it. But, I shan't argue. I would imagine you're right on about pulling the heads. Blown head gaskets can air up a radiator in a hurry. I'm curious to see what you find.
Good luck.
