That broken part appears to be the serpentine belt tensioner. If you are converting to a v-belt front drive, you won't need it.

If I had an engine with plugs that nice, no way I would rebuild it! Unless something is damaged on the long block assembly from the wreck, it looks like you got a good one.

For your application, most of the bolt-on external parts will go in the trash, including the distributor and water pump.

Yes, I'm going to follow the advice of leaving the engine alone for now. My current plan is to (1) put my chassis on order and (2) convert the engine to carb. Once that's done I'll fit the engine to the chassis so I can check fit, etc. and continue the build from there.
