Two questions:

Water jacket core plug, block heater, intake manifold water jacket supply hose, heat gasket. Or something I just missed.

I have no problem moving or starting any of my engines for under 3-5 min. to move them

water pump is back there..... Chip

And the winner is....... CHIP.

It was the Water Pump. I thought it was something more gruesome. I never had a water pump go bad without any noisy warning and never such that if I poured coolant into the radiator it just poured out the Water Pump. So I thought this was going to be the death of my poor little car I've owned since buying it new.

Good car. Hope to get a few more years out of it.
