The passenger side of the block had orange stuff come out, was to be expected....The Drivers side had white sediment come out...I kept checking to make sure the oil wasn't being contaminated with water....I am good on that....I went ahead and blew out whatever water was left over with compressed air... What could the white stuff have been? The coolant that came out from the radiator drain was a dark murky Green...Going to replace it with 60/40 Prestone Family owned 1969 Charger R/T DualQuad 440/727/GVO/3.55s

Not sure if an alum or brass rad would generate white corrosion, but could be. Glad ya did a thorough flush tho. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
