hydro locked

Last night I drove into a lake in the road that I did not see. Car died, all my lights stopped working, and water was at the bottom of my doors. To make it worse I have no place to hook a tow rope, so I had to push it all the way home (2am) with the window down so I could steer. The whole time I was thinking I need a new motor. Got it in the garage and pulled the plugs. Full of water. Took the air box off and look down TB, Intake manifold full of water. Took the ORP off and water pours out

So I drain the oil, take intake manifold off and header. Spray wd40 into all cylinders fill with oil and alittle ATF to clean out motor.
Got it all put back together to find out.......
It works yay

I lucked out yet again.
