Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.

I have moved the patrol inside now and started looking around. Took the top of the motor and noticed a lot sludge and build up. I’m guessing from over heating. Also lots of debris in fuel filter. I pulled and cleaned the tank a year ago but hasn’t run much since what’s the remedy here? Also, I’m really torn on what to do. I could rebuild this engine but also seen a lot of luck from posters putting in 350 small block. Honestly, this hurts to even think about but the availability of parts is a big plus. If I did this I’d also replace axles and transmission.

Yup. You've had a taste of how cool they are to drive now. You've got incentive to get back there.
Beyond any hope for intervention

I'm stunned that you could drive it with all that sludge in the engine. And as for the fuel filter
Maybe pick up a second hand engine and get it running first. Its easier to swap engines rather that rebuild - well it is for me anyway.
That way you will prove its drivable and you can the sort out the other issues (brakes, diffs etc etc). You can also have a bit of fun. Then rebuild the engine.
Not sure if I will get there.
Not sure if I will get back.
But I usually do!!!
