Default Engine burns alot of oil but runs great

I have a '37 Tudor with the 21 stud 221. Car had sat for 35 + years

Got it running and eng runs good but smokes and burns ALOT of oil (maybe a quart every 10-20 miles. I have tried MMO and NOSMOKE still smokes. Debating trying Bonami trick?
Compression 80 80 80 87 87 87 90 83
oil pressure dash gauge shows 50 cold 20 hot. I hooked up a maual gauge and showed about 25 and 5 hot at idle goes up with rpm.

I have read to run it and see if it gets better... BUT that's ALOT of oil and smoke.

Thoughts?
