Looks like the timing chain has jumped, bent push rods.

I hope that doesn't turn out worse than the bent pushrods for you. The last 69 Bee I bought was supposed to be a running project. When I got to the point of working on it, it also had bent pushrods on number 1 and 3 cylinders. I got into it and it had dropped a valve on number 3 and busted the piston and the block. So needless to say I had to put a completely different engine in the car.

Pistons look good with just some light marks by a couple of valves. It was in a big Chrysler 300 so I'm guessing timing chain jumped and it died an easy death, nothing catastrophic. Bottom end looks good.

Check the pan on the engine. They used to use nylon coated timing gears for a "quite chain". My 71 barracuda with a 383-2bbl had timing that was all over the map.

Pulled the pan and found it full of nylon chips. Pulled the timing chain cover and the nylon gear blank had razor sharp teeth as the nylon coating was gone. Substantial timing back lash.

Cleaned the motor best I could, put in a TRW double roller timing chain and sprocket set (all metal) and kept on going.

Timing chain was not the original one. Pan was debris free other than 20 year old sludge.
