Things like cam timing, valve lobes, are not going to change. If she was a runner before, she should run again. If she idles, shes nearly there.

Agreed, but that is why I asked if it was running well before it was parked. We did not get an answer to that.
With today's modern oils, the old flat tappet engines can develop problems. The SM and SN rated oils are not meant for the flat tappet motors, but rather for the roller type lifters.
