If it has been sitting for a long time, pull the oil pan as it will undoubtedly have a bunch of solidified sludge in it. You don't want to attempt to pull that through the oil-pump and into the bearings. If it was mine, I'd pull the pan, check the bearings, check the oil-pump and potentially replace the oil-pump with a late 49-53 (with the proper pickup screen).

I've found that cleaning out the pan is a MUST on any one these older engines . . .
