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.

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".
