Thanks everyone, comments like that make it all worth it.
We had a very productive session last weekend with the "B". Once we removed as much of the 40 or so year old oil as was humanly possible, we started pumping in some new stuff,,200 gallons worth of zinc fee, 40 weight.
The first two barrels were pumped into the strainer box, this then drains directly into the crank case.
We kept a close look out for any leaks as this was the first time in about 40 years that any oil has moved through this 567B block. The next two barrels were pumped into the pre-lube fitting located on the opposite side of the block. This allowed the oil to flow from the top deck of the block through all the cylinders , down past all the crank shaft bearings and into the crank case. Once again looking for leaks, The nice thing was that none were found.
