also it looks like it had a cast iron intake - a salvation in this case because it didn't let fire, water and grit into the motor when the fire was put out

If you have to pay others to do the repair work you will spend more than the car is worth even before you paint.
The wire harness is most likely shot and replacing that is a major PIA, lots of disassembly work and many many hours of troubleshooting.
There is a mass of vacuum lines under the hood that will need to be replaced for the evap system, headlights, etc. That will also be a PIA to rebuild.
Just my 2cents

There are no 82 four speeds.
