Thanks folks. I have already dismissed the idea and have the parts back in place. This motor's block had a lot of rust formed inside of it from sitting for many years outside pathetically covered up inside the engine compartment that had a hood with a hole in it for the scoop. Heads were in the leaky trunk. Even though the block was bathed twice while first being honed then bored we were still getting some rust specks out of the coolant passages once it was on the engine stand and being spun around. Maybe there is some slight blockage somewhere. I stuck a wire down in the end drain holes in the heads a bunch of times hoping that mabe there is a slight clog but I don't understand why the head bolts are running right down the center of each passage which probably makes the oil drain pretty slowly to begin with.
