I'd be tempted to tear it down and reassemble, lubing profusely as it goes. Then you would have peace of mind that everything is A-OK.
For the cost of a gasket set, it's cheap insurance. Even then, most gaskets would be re-usable if it comes apart cleanly.
Or a simpler variation. Take the pan off and lube the cam and lifters, oil the top of the lifters through the valley, and the bores through the plug holes.
Then once back together crank it over with plugs out until oil pressure builds.
Then fire it up and keep revs up for first 20 mins to get plenty of splash lube for the cam lobes from oil flinging off the crank.
Note the adjustable lifters. It's rebuilt but not a Ford re-man.
