Welcome to Inliners. A thousand can go far doing a lot yourself or can be eaten up by the engine itself. You won't know that until you check it out. If it sat outside unprotected for those 6 years that could spell doom for the engine. Can you turn it over by hand at the crank balancer or is it frozen up? Pull the plugs and put some oil in the cylinders and let it sit for awhile or best if you can, pull the head. Could be all the gaskets are dried out too. If it turns freely do the changes you suggested and try firing it up. If the tranny is oil or grease packed it should be ok as long as water didn't get in it. The clutch and pressure plate may be frozen from rust though. Good Luck with this
possible new project.
