A sinking feeling....

Forum mates; I purchased a new to me 1968 Tartan 27 in 2017 and have been restoring it over the last two years. I used the boat in the summer of 2017 and in October of 2017 had the boat yard flush and winterize the engine. The boat has been on the hard since then. I started the engine in August of 2018 with a bucket of water and two hoses to create a closed loop. I did not winterize the engine this year thinking that as I did not put the boat in the water last summer, there should still be plenty of anti freeze in the engine. I understand now that my thinking was wrong. My question is how screwed am I? What should I do now for the rest of the winter and how do I check for cracks and other damage?
