I want a picture for proof... haha. The previous owner had to have seriously neglected that poor car. You've gotta do like 15k+ mile oil change intervals for that engine to sludge up. But really, is there a chance you can take a picture so we can see just how bad it is? I think your best bet is to change the oil very frequently, and probably drop the oil pan to make sure the pick-up screen isn't getting blocked. Hopefully this might gradually take care of the sludge.
On second thought, what color is the "sludge" you're talking about? If it's a dark black, then yeah okay it's sludge. But if it's a lighter brown, milky color, your oil cooler is probably leaking coolant into the oil which would make a nasty paste in the oil. Just another alternative... Keep us posted please.
