I don't really want to sit on something that someone could actually use, and it breaks my heart to see something scrapped that can be used.
I was thinking along the lines of scrap rates. I paid $50 for a BBC with 3 windowed cylinders.
If it is junk, I would consider buying it as a mock up block, for a reasonable price.

Booked up tried already
Johnson valley for us. Couldn't find a dog friendly room anywhere near Parker
I just soaked the bolts but yes they are rusted. I doubt they are going to budge

Several things come to mind immediately.
Harmonic balancer and flywheel. Same as the ones in it before?
Drive line, same one?
If the driveline has bottomed out on the splines from using the wrong driveshsaft, it will have a fierce vibration.
I agree with your decision to separate the motor and pump.
Is there a chance there is a rock or rats nest in the pump? You would be shocked.
Disconnect drive an move it around. If its got some binding, replace bearings. unbolt rear feet an pull the pass side off to hollow out the holes just a bit an ad a spacer(1/8" piece of aluminum or what you need) to driver side. That should move the drive over enough without to much labor. Goal is to have angle between .5-3* while keeping the crankshaft an pump shaft parallel. Your pump shaft could be bent but hopefully its just a minor fix.
Make sure the oil you us has a hi zinc content I burned up a cam once due to wrong brake in oil.

Follow the cam manufacturers recommendation, but to put it simply.
Use either a break in oil designed for flat tappet cams or an oil that has been fortified with a proper amount of zddp.
I use the Comp Cams break in additive.
Get set up in advance.
Thinking light, garden hose with an inline valve of some sort.
Rags (in case of any leaks).
Fire extinguisher. Lol.
So, once you get the engine started, Rev it to about 2,000 rpm as soon as humanly possible, I use a tie wrap to help open the throttle.
This is a good time to tweak the timing with a timing light.
Every so often (a minute or two) Rev the engine to 3,500 or so and let it run at about 2,000.
Keep the water flowing just enough to keep the motor at about 160°F, the idea is to heat the oil up.
Keep doing this procedure for about 20-25 minutes or until the cops show up. (Long story)..
Once the time has lapsed, shut it if after turning off the water and let it cool fully. (Overnight is best, but at least three or four hours).
Once cool, run the valves, check the plugs, dump the oil and filter, fresh oil and your ready to dial it in.
Carb adjustment, timing, fix the leaks you found, assist fuel pressure, floats etc...
Take it to the lake and beat on it like it owes you money.

What cam type? Roller?
The procedures are completely different for flat vs. roller.
