Yes.
Oil followed after two gallons of coolant.

Well if you didn't pour coolant into the oil filler tube. Then two gallons of coolant in the sump is sorry to say a major issue.
If you have access to a coolant system pressure tester you may be able to put pressure to the system and then hear air passing buy listening at the oil filler tube and around different point of the engine.
you can remove the plugs and listen with a piece of hose at the plug holes. Sorry I can't be more help

Thanks Blue. I tried to pull a vacuum but just get major gurgling. So I think this one is toast.
On the bright side, I really wanted 3.6!

Yes you do, but at twice the value of the car, the wife is probably correct this time.

Chevy makes a good engine. They usually go for less than $500 running.  LOL

Mine had an oil/coolant mix issue too. Took out the 3.2, skipped right by the 3.6, and wound up with a 6.0. So far I'm all in at about $9k, but oh boy does it sound good!
