Less you are building a blown motor. You'll be fine without a rebuild from what I'm seeing. If you want to pre-pressure the oil (not sure how that's done on a low pressure flathead system, unlike a sbc or a yblock with a drill) just handcrank the crank with some oil in it. or post a picture with a oil galley plug and no explanation or help. But from your list of fords you already know. Boy with al the talk about about getting new members in flatheads it's funny how some are just adhering to some sorta boys club.

Good start.
