You have been given some VERY GOOD advice.
Do not spend any more money till you KNOW what you need.
Pull the head and SEE what is inside the cylinders. Follow the advice about cleaning and honing the rust out. Then "SOAK" the cylinders and pistons for a good while in some type of penetrating oil/solvent.
With the head pulled, check all the valves, valve guides, retainers and valve springs.
Pull the pan and SEE what in in there. You may find some really bad stuff. Clean the pan, clean the oil pump and oil pump pick up screen. You can then work on the PLUG from both sides and MORE EASILY drill it out if necessary. without ruining the pan or the threads for the pulg. Also clean out all the "sludge and stuff" inside the block.
Check the GEARS in the transmission and rear end. Then get the engine running and running "right".
It always best to KNOW what you have and what you are working with BEFORE you invest TOO MUCH time and money in a project.
