What a great job you did there! That bag-o-bones sure looks like a great daily driver now!

I finally got around to removing oil pan.
A piece of cylinder #8 piston skirt. A balled up/shriveled oil pump pickup. A lot of little metal shavings. I wish I had opened this engine up before installing it. Now I plan to replace the pickup and to clean the oil pan and tighten and or replace the bearings that were noisy. Any advice?

NOOOOOOO! That looks like a full motor replacement/overhaul to me from what I see in pictures. What does it smell like, is it a bitter metal smell?

Ohh. That isn't good at all. That isn't just a little silvery stuff, that's chunks. Damage is done, it's time for a full teardown and inspection.
Get you more motorvation, rebuild it as a 383!

The stuff that has circulated in the oil has caused bearing damage yet to be seen. Agreed with the others, it's time to pull for rebuild, or replace with something else.
