Welcome to the Stovebolt! wave

With that many possible issues and after sitting around for that long you may be WAY ahead of the game to look for a running replacement motor. You should be able to find a good running 235 for about $500 or less. To rebuilding what you have would cost thousands of dollars. It sounds like your motor isn't original to the truck anyway so installing a different motor shouldn't matter.
