Hydrolock from gas, possible engine damage?

I attempted to crank over my engine with my new carb (Quadrajet on crate 350). I guess the float was stuck from shipping so It poured gas everywhere. I didn’t realize that it also flooded the cylinders until I tried to crank it a few days later and it felt like the battery was dead and cranked over maybe two rotations and then froze. I pulled the plugs and gas came out of cylinders 6 and 7. More out of 6 then 7. I spun the engine with the starter with no plugs and cleaned out the engine. Nothing sounded off. I put the plugs back in and it was running rough. Shaking the whole truck. I thought it might be a vacuum leak or bad coil so I changed out the coil and now it only cranks and won’t fire. Is it possible that I bent a rod while trying to turn the engine over when it had gas in a cylinder?
