Default Fuel Fouled Oil?

So I was bringing the Vette back to life yesterday, and the float got stuck open.

The motor ate 3+ gallons of gas idling over the course of probably less than an hour of run time (I know because I had to fill it). It sucked so much gas that when I realized what the problem was, I saw gas spurting out from between the bonnet and the carb.

So, my question, do you guys think my oil is now fuel fouled? (Just put in 7 quarts of mobil 1 before I fired it up, and I know that philosophically it makes sense to spend the $50 and do another oil change to protect my investment, Im just hoping someone has some reassuring knowledge that can save me from the hassle).
