Rebuilding a rusted out 318 with no experience and no machine shop help, what could go wrong?

So, I'm actually building a 1950 studabaker to be a MadMax tribute vehicle but it's on top of a 1987 D-150 frame. That frame came with a free engine and I decided to try and rebuild it. It looks pretty bad, and it sure is, but the Crank and bearing surfaces looked Ok, so I stupidly soldiered on. I ported and polished the heads and attempted all of the machine work myself.
