Anyone seen worse than this?

I've actually seen worse. I was working on a 71 Camaro that a friend had bought with a 307. The crud was almost to the bottom of the intake, and damn near filled the valve covers. We used to call them Penzoil motors...
My advice is to pul the engine and at least replace the bearings, pump, pick-up, and rings. Everything in there is going to be NASTY (and not Rap video nasty)...

Who ever owned the car before did not change the oil on a regular basis.The engine will freeze up if you clean this.The oil pic-up will try to suck the oil up to the pump, the oil pump will get clogged, because the crap is too thick to suck up,and the game is over,(new engine time).Might leave it be for now.(been there).

Well unfortunately we already cleaned it out as best we could. I guess if I want it to run for a bit I better drop the pan and clean that and the pickup so I dont lose all oil pressure.
