chrysler 35hp has been stood for the past decade or so,where to start?

[superduperest]

hi all, im trying to return an engine to life thats been standing for quite a few years now. Its a 1971 chrysler 35hp 2-stroke, i have taken the cylinder head off and the pistons (which look to be in good condition)are soaking in penetrating oil. The flywheel is stuck fast but im awaiting a delivery for a puller from ebay to sort that one (hopefully) but after that any advice would be welcome. the engine itself looks to be in reasonable condition given that its been neglected for a decade, the prop spins but i guess that doesnt mean that its even connected to a working gear box! as i said, any advice would be welcome. thanks for reading this either way
