1987 305 4bbl Head Gasket?
I am not sure what is going on with my engine. When picked it up I changed the oil and noticed about 2 cups of coolant that came out. I have since driven the car about 30 miles again and there is no coolant in the oil and no white smoke from the exhaust and no oil in the radiator. Whats going on? Can anyone help me?

when you picked it up? you mean bought it?
Then who knows what happened to it before, but if the problem is gone, i'd turn a blind eye, and be happy

yeah water in the oil is not good usually, is at least a bad gasket in intake or head, or can b a cracked head or intake
dont be running it til you figure it out
i would suspect bad intake gasket first and go from there
