At a minimum, you're up to a cam and lifters at this point. Coming from someone who has built a Buick 350 in the recent past, what is your goal with this engine and how much of a perfectionist are you?
It’s not too bad I don’t think. I can feel it but it doesn’t catch a nail.How deep is the ridge? The very top of the cylinder bore above the top ring where it doesn't get worn.
It looks like it has a fair amount of miles on it but it does appear it was taken care of.
To remove the lifters you need a tool like this.

Yeah i couldn’t see what I was taking a picture of. The sun was in bad spot. I will get some in the morning.Looks like a V6 rod was used to replace one of the 350 rods. Likely the crankshaft has been ground, question is how much.
That brown/orange sludge looks like it might have had coolant in the oil pan at one time and was never cleaned out completely.
The remains of the head gasket on the deck surface is not from factory head gaskets.
