Unhappy What A Difference A Day Makes

I Don't believe it
After all the fun we had yesterday, Oliver & I went out this morning to take the car to a few friends to see. after strapping him in I thought I would check out the motor before starting.
When I pulled out the dipstick my heart sank , the oil looked like a chocolate milkshake.
I figure I've blown the head gasket (hopefully nothing worse).
Does anyone have anything to say about pulling the heads off a 427 side oiler ?
Does anyone have any practical ideas about keeping this baby cooler in the future (perhaps a 4 core rad or better fan?).
Any coments are appreciated, I ran the car all day yesterday, for the 100 mile trek from OC the water temp. stayed around 175 - 200. Once we were home I was cruising all around town at around 225 - 235. I had no idea anything was wrong until I pulled that stick this morning. I bought this car to be a daily driver and have to get this temp. problem under control, Thanks in anticipation.
Russell.

Iwill post pictures once I'm up & running again, your right, she is a beauty.
