Yeah, I plan to pull the pan and clean it up as much as I can. Im mainly trying to see if I can just get it running. I bought the whole truck for really cheap and the engine was sortave an extra throw in. So im trying to keep from putting tons of money in it if it will run fine after its just been cleaned up. Another question, the things that the push rods sit in(im not sure what theyre called) How are they removed from the engine or can they be? I think its a 54 engine, block # is: 3835911
