pull the spark plugs and look for antifreeze---may have to pull the head and check that and the cylinder walls
drain the crankcase asap

first check would be head gasket.

My first thought is was the antifreeze as strong as it should have been and if not could it have frozen and cracked the block or head?? Now if it was good then head gasket is the most likely. As said pull the plugs out make sure not to mix them up or you may have fun getting the firing order correct again and spin it over and see if you get some antifreeze out of one or more cylinder. If you get it out of 2 that are side by side good chance the head gasket has gone between the cylinders

Does that have wet sleeves with oring seals at the bottom?

If so, drop the pan, look to see where the coolant is coming down from. If the sleeve seals are leaking, the head will have to come off anyway, but best to know where the leak is first!

Nope, an H is a dry sleeve Steve.

Weak anti-freeze will turn to slush & not break a block. Try it in a glass bottle sometime.

I have seen antifreeze weak enough to break a block all it takes if getting to cold for it to just slush up and freeze
