Thats some heavy rust! Heres a pic of a 455 i recently pulled from a 76TA that sat in a corn field for 10-15 years with no shaker that may be even worse... there was over a gallon of milky colored water that looked like the one that lost the election's shade of beige, after all the chunky black oil came out!
The pistons were frozen to the cylinders and actually removed pieces of metal from the walls when I hammered one out... but the lifter & cam area was the worst part, the cam lobes were basically gone and the lifters seemed to become part of the lifter bores, some werent even recognizable as lifters!
Shame people let cars & engines get this bad, someone bought this engine for scrap price & tried to save it, never heard back on how that went.
