Yeah, after what you described here, if it were mine, I'd be pulling it to pieces and sending the block and head off to a machine shop for a good thorough tanking.
Just my $0.02 . . . .

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

Or just pop down to Central Oregon when I’m next at my shop and pick up the mostly rebuilt 1940 245 that I have for sale!

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.

I'll pull the valve covers when it's not 9º outside and 30º in the shop...
