Thanks everyone for all your input.
The lifters are collapsed, a knowlegable mechanic friend stopped by to take a look and listen. I should have also mentioned the amount of blue smoke it pushes after the engine warms up. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part to have an old motor (the odometer states 52,365 miles) that was not running for almost 25 years to be perfect!
OK...so now the question is, what should I expect to pay for a rebuild kit? I know this is a wide open question at this point so I will tear it down first and see how everything looks.
Any thoughts on your experiences and suppliers would be greatly appreciated.
