If you are lucky your head gaskets will be blown.
If you are unlucky the heads will be warped, which is what I think has happened.
In my 60 years fixin' the locals cars and trucks I've realised that when the rad hoses blow with the hot Texas weather the engines die pretty soon and almost always warp the heads.

+1 I agree, The head gaskets are both probably blown and I would take the cylinder heads to a machine shop to be checked for being warped and cracks especially between the valves.
