Unless you have a decent selection of metrology, you are not going to be able to tell much regarding bore size and piston clearance.

The other thing you need to determine is just how far do you want to go with this project?
I'm not going to get TOO carried away as I doubt that I will put 5000 miles on this car in my lifetime. The car is not anything special. It's what you refer to as a "junk restoration". It's basically stock with many jobber parts and a few mods (second tail light and signals, want to maybe add a voltage regulator, that sort of thing). Basically your run of the mill $10,000 model a. If I can get it to stop useing so much oil and improve the brakes (maybe cast drums and learn to set them up properly), I'm a happy camper.
