car ran right after popping back through the intake what other damage should I be looking for? Or would I be better off just doing a heart transplant?

Usually, usually, but not always, the tank splits due to excessive pressure in the cooling system. As to the why is anyone's guess, best case thermostat, worst case cracked head(s), smell the oil, install new rad, pressure test with a tester, look for coolant disappearing. If it split one rad, very likely it will split another if you try running it, without a watchful eye.
