    permanent damage may… have  happened  but it is to late now.   I would just inspect and change  impeller  then run it to see what happens.

    if pumping is restored great !   if not  inspect PH  water   passages for broken   fin parts

    motor is  69 years old  but tuff    damage  if any permanat  is likely  scoring of the cyl walls which you can inspect  with a endoscope or if inclined to do so by just pulling the cyl.head.       check compression before     and after   the new cyl head gasket is installed.

    is this a restored beauty or a ugky  duckling ?
