At the least...considering the condition of the pan and oil pump, consider removing the covers to the valve train and cleaning it out as well. Also all the oil passages should be blown out with compressed air. Give the engine a good flush until the fluid coming out runs clean. Also flush the radiator that you are going to use...check the torque on the head bolts...put it together and run it on the stand and see how happy it is and you with the engine. Ernie in Arizona...Packard Don is a cool dude...if you don't like the engine when running on the stand...do a deal with Don.
