This summer I put 1200 miles on a '37 tudor with the same issue you have described. Same cylinder psi. That engine started up and ran great. Burnt oil and was low on power. I just replaced it with a fresh 221, 21 stud and wow, what a difference.

Yes, It's time for a rebuild. It will be worth the cost in fun alone. In fact I not only installed a fresh engine, I rebuilt the transmission and 3rd Gen Automotive built me a 3.25 rear end. I did 75 mph recently.
