Rebuild criteria would be low fuel delivery on one cylinder, unusual operating conditions caused by governor parts wear that can't be corrected with external adjustments, excessive wear caused by "alternative" fuels or damage from running without engine oil.
I wouldn't worry about a pump sitting on an engine on a pallet unless an injector line(s) was removed and the pressure side left open to the air. As long as there was fuel in the lines to keep out moisture it should be fine.

Thank you.
That would mean that the IP presently on the engine, the 1984 w/215K, which seems to be OK, probably is OK. One other thing. The 1984 engine failed due to having run out of oil and was seized.
The spare IP, the 1983 with 130K, remains an unknown. I have no idea if the engine was stored with fuel in the injector lines. Those lines were probably attached, as I do have two sets of IP to injector lines.
Additionally, the car presently shows white smoke when first started and is cold. When warmed up, no smoke.
