...found out later this was common in racing, as oil ended up in the valve covers cause could not drain back to the pan fast enough.

Huh. Never ran the old girl outta oil. Not once. Lucky, maybe? As I noted, our main issue was stretched rod bolts. Couldn't afford the fancy ARP ones, so went w/ what we could: stock FoMoCo ones. And considering we all used stock cams w/ hydraulic lifters, there wasn't a lot of revs achieved, either.
 
If someone does want this lathe and is out of the area, I can help @JustaDB with logistics to make something happen for someone. Could garage it for a week or two even. I know how hard it is to find a lathe west of Ontario and east of Kamloops…..
