why not properly breakdown and gradually appraise all the parts you have?
See what was the reason engines were discarded, or put aside.
Pro jobs for complete reliability means thousands just in parts. Yet as Martin has advocated, one can resurrect unused/unmaintained engines with a few parts and a lot of time and consideration for just a few hundred quid if you are canny. And it teaches you a lot. If you found an engine of yours that wasn't entirely broken, it could get you another running unit for emergencies, or to sell on.
Why wouldnt you consider putting a three bearing in a Ruby though? That is what they did from '36-'38.
