Should i buy a pressure washer and tear my 312 y block down to the core then put it on engine stand and power wash it down? Or just drop it off at machine shop?

Nope, if it was as nasty as you said it will need a good soaking....

If your getting the engine rebuilt I would just drop it off at the engine shop. Hot tanking or baking the block is part of the engine rebuilding process.
