I'll leave to one side the debate about dealing with long unused engines. Suffice to say that I know the car from a while back and had sump and head off before it came to me so I had a visual on the internals which were fine. The water was not in it long.
Meanwhile, back at the oil question it has been suggested that the oil pressure relief may be stuck open - which would give a lower than normal pressure reading at startup and might account for the frothing. I am going to take a look see at that first, then if necessary go for the oil pump vanes/springs and will report back in due course.
