Burning coolant at startup.

Hey, this one came to me with a billion miles on it...so its bound to have issues.

I am just going to run the shit out of it until it starts blowing out coolant at an alarming rate.

Assuming you do have to replace the engine, have you started thinking about what engine you want to drop in it?

I heart you.

Also, for a temp fix, the best sealent I've found is "irontite". Works surprisingly well, but we all know how "well" any treatment works on a busted coolant seal.
