Assume it's just some surface rust in the cylinders. No point in taking it apart up front. Taking the engine apart is the worst case scenario anyway, so do what you can to get it running without that. Put some Marvel Mystery oil in the spark plug holes. I usually use one of those little squirt bubbles they use to clean out kid's noses to get it in there without making a mess. You can also squeeze it hard to ensure oil is shooting across the cylinder to the opposite cylinder wall. Let it sit for a day, and then brake the engine loose with a breaker bar on the front crank bolt. Rotate it through a few times, and then start it.

Kurt it is quite a ways from being able to start. It was just set in place and nothing hooked up . I will have to get all of the systems redone and hooked up . Fuel tank out and junk . Brakes need redone . No radiator in it but have the old one . No distributor, will need to get one . Then all of the wiring . Which distributor would you use ?
Was told it is a .40 over bore and has a 521 cam .it has a edlebrock torker 11 intake .with a 4 Barrel. Not sure which on yet .
Thanks for your help
