The worst I ever saw was a '73 or '74 Nova that I rebuilt the 454 for friend. Was at least 1/8" of sludge on every bit of the internals. Required lots of scraping before I sent the block out for hot tanking. Lifter gallery and bottom of the intake manifold. Oil gallery on the other side was pitiful.

Nova, Omega, Ventura, Apollo...all were Novas with cosmetic differences and different engines until even the engines used were the same, Pontiac I4, Buick V6, Chevy V8.
