Bit of a update:

Engine block and head has been stripped and cleaned (acid dip under pressure)

Block:
All oil and waterways cleaned
New piston rings & oil rings
New small end bearings
New crank bearings and balance
New big end shells

Head:
New valve guilds and seals
New springs
Valves re seated
Cam oil seals

I'm waiting on crank oil seals and a new crank pulley that will be drilled into the crank and dowel pins fitted to stop the stress on the keyway

Here's how it's looking
