I have a ram van w/ what i think is a dodge 360 or possibly 318, anyway, a few days ago it started shooting tons of white smoke out the exhaust, and the coolant was gone, i checked all the cylinders and found that all the coolant was going right into the #7 cylinder, without removing the engine, is there a way for me to determine whether this is because of a bad headgasket, or cracked heads or block? thanks

Well it all comes down to how much you like working in little to no space. You're gonna have to at least pull the intake to get a better idea, and while you're at it you might as well pull the head on that side. Then you should be able to tell for sure what's going on...
