Water problem!

I have a 95 flair side 4x4 auto with the 5.0. the orginal motor was shoot at 168,000 mile. I had a friend that had a 302 from a 89 crown vic. the motor had about 30,000 on it when the car got totaled in the ***. I preformed a motor swap in the truck putting new everything from the manifold gasket up on it. and the truck ran great for 6 months. then sunday i poped the cap off the truck to check the water and antifreeze. when to my suprise the water was brown to thick. i fused the it 3 times and never would clear up. then it started to push the water out of the over flow. I decided to get in a change the head gaskets and replace the rad. too. after doing all this work and getting it running. the problem with the water coming out of the over flow is still there. WHAT NEXT!

the over flow is the problem. I changed the coolant and the rad. so no more brown water.

Assuming that the head gaskets were replaced correctly the only thing left is a crack in one of the cylinder walls.
