I am fairly new to the 6.0 but that sounds like a head gasket failure. The early 6.0's had what Ford refers to as Catastrophic Engine Failure that happened on some off the earlier 6.0 engines.

Looks like Yooper hit the nail on the head. You need to get head studs installed and new gaskets. BIG JOB! The cab should come off to get the necessary clearance for the head job. Good Luck!
