WFO,
Make sure that engine is good condition - a good rebuild could cost you the
price of the car, and rebuilding just the heads will be around $2500. There
are few really good engine guys for the Twin Cam. I went with Jay Ivey of
Portland, Oregon for my rebuild. Hopefully all the bits are there - some
things, like the air cleaner box, are either expensive or difficult to get.
On the other hand, if that's a really good Twin Cam, you are buying the
engine and getting the rest of the car for free 8-)
I think most, if not all, of your questions may be answered on this website:

at the car; can never have too many LBCs, right.
Dual overhead cam, big valve engine, ready for restoration, only 30k
original miles. Car has been in storage for over 25 years. A great car,
only $6500.
