Im glad its yours and you have plans and dreams for the car....BUT...STOP!!!
Forget the plans for a stroked engine and new trans.
Work with what you have so it isnt going to cost you! See if the engine will turn and if she does, get the bits put back on your engine and get her running.
I wish you luck with your project. Yes it will take many years to complete but more importantly you will learn about the car and also the feeling of immense satisfaction you get when something works for the first time and you can stand back and say ' I dit that!'
Good luck and keep the posts going.

I really appreciate your attitude considering the harshness of some of the posts that were put up here.
You got a great deal on the learning experience of a lifetime. Have fun fiddling and dismantling, rebuilding and swearing.
And I suggest using a milk crate over a lawn chair... the lawn chair will flip over with you in it. Ask me how I know.
Good Luck!

Buy some books:

462624.....75-86...350/400......76cc chamber, 1.72/1.5, 1.94/1.5 or 2.02/1.6 valves
According to http://www.mortec.com/castnum.htm
You may have the larger valves, the 2.02's.
Heads that you have are always better then heads that you don't....
