Obviously more than likely you will need to replace the ISO mounts. While you have the engine out for that, do the cradle mod and replace the gaskets and seals to stop the oil leakage. It would also be a good time while you have the oil pan off to see if it still has the two balance gears inside. If they are it is highly suggested that you take them out. They do have a tendency to explode and make a nice window in the side of your block. More so if the motor is original and never been redone. More than likely you will need to remove the driveshaft and replace the flex disks at both ends and also replace the drive shaft bushing in the drive plate on the motor and in the rear shaft connector.
Change all the fluids including the Hydro rear end and the filter with correct HyTran fluid. Will take 2 gallons to refill the rear. Put a new set of points and a condensor on and set the timing per Matt's method located in our Tractor Tech library.

This should keep you busy for awhile till you get your 1650. Read up on everything and you will be ready to go.

DWayne that's the mother load of helpful links! I am a little shocked that you didn't link any painting and restoring links to your list tho.
