If you don't vent your crank case in your Chevy sb will it cause coolant to go to your crankcase?
No, but your crankcase should be vented anyway. If your getting coolant in the crankcase it is getting in from a bad head gasket or cracked head or bad intake manifold gaskets. If you don't fix it soon your engine will be toast.

What cause water in the crankcase?
A small amount of water can be condensation, however, if it smells like or contains anti-freeze, you have a major engine problem - possibly a cracked engine block which allows the coolant to seep into the crankcase. It could also be a blown "head gasket" which is a less serious problem, but still a large job to fix. This too could allow coolant to leak into the crankcase in some cars.
