Is it a metallic odor ? An electrical smell ? A burning smell ? Smell like burning paint or rubber or oil ?
It doesn't sound to me as though you overheated though as there was probably just enough coolant circulating to run ok and I'm presuming that no overheat alarms went off.

edit to add ...
I have a friend who had a strange engine noise from one of his 350 Mag mpi's that I located using my nose . An exhaust gasket had blown on one port and the slight odor of rotten eggs in the engine room gave it away .

Also, i’d check inlet side to oil cooler for impeller ir etc debris. Many peeps don’t remove the pieces when they have an impeller blow apart.
