50 years is a long time. If it was rebuilt in 1980, there have been 40 years of grime accumulated. Are you really sure you can look at an engine and say it was untouched? You have the pistons right in front of you, and you are doubting what you are seeing, because you are reading things that don't even matter, if you don't know the engines history.
No idea what your intent is, but if all you want is an engine that runs and you don't want to pull it apart, put it together and run it. Who cares what the compression is? It will run.
If you care about horse power, then keep the block and pitch most everything else. Now you are talking serious money, when you go down this road. You will be rewarded with serious power at the end. Your choice.
