How do I do a coolant flush a 351W?

I went to replace my thermostat housing gasket today. (I just bought the car) I want to flush the system because of the brown gunk. I always used distilled water in all my motors and never looked like this. What the best way to do it?

Edit. If I ran the car without a thermostat, and left the fill cap off. Disconnected the bypass hose at the thermostat housing and connected a long hose to a bucket. Capped off the water pump bypass. Ran the car while filling at the cap. Would the water flush through the bypass?
