Thoughts:
This was abandoned over 25years ago after a life of neglect. There are a ton of redneck repairs but they shine in comparison to the mouse damage. It took a TON of work and hours upon hours to get rid of the smell. I bought top of the line expensive commercial enzyme deodorizers that did little. Steam cleaning with all the interior removed was all that really worked. I still believe the engine has a ton of life left and will continue moving forward. To free up the engine it took nearly 6 months of messing around with oil concoctions. In the end Molasses was the key and that took around 2.5-3 weeks. I did look around for engine replacements and contemplated swaps but everything fell through, so I'm moving forward with what I have.
