Starting point
Start by telling everyone what you want to do with the vehicle. If you know for a fact they have never been rebuilt than get the casting numbers off the block and heads and post it with the info requested above. Maybe someone will get it started for you.

Only thing I would question in that mix is the race Demon carb.

On the first time of assembly I would suggest you turn off the whole world outside.Check a number of times the clearances and take as much time as it takes to get it right.No cell phones,NO BEER,no tv's,maybe a radio,no friends to distract you from a total focus on what your doing in a locked door garage.
And if you get stuck on something,there are no dumb questions.Ask here and you will find the needed support.Good Bye
