Don't be starting the engine if you don't know what you are doing, you don't have to at this stage, you have way more important things to be getting on with first.
With a project like this you need a few things, you need a build book, this will document the parts you use, part numbers etc for future reference. Make it neat, plan the build, bit by bit, axles , engine , drive line etc etc, it will keep the build on track and stop you jumping around doing things first that should be done last, planning is everything and this will help you cost it all up and give you a chance to budget properly.
You will need a complete genuine work shop manual, Haynes isn't a proper work shop manual , its a comic in comparison. This will tell you how to strip down, test and rebuild everything from the hubs to the gear box, I cant stipulate enough how much you are going to need this.
You will also need a complete genuine parts catalogue, this will have exploded diagrams and part numbers of every single little thing, they are well worth the money because they can explain how things go together and any parts needed way better than any internet search. And if you are as green as I think you are you are seriously going to need these two books, they will save you money, time and effort in the long run.
You are basically going to teach your self how a vehicle like this goes together, from wiring, fuel system, braking system , engine , drive line , every little thing and to do this you need to be able to tap into the information required, buy the books , really , what you are doing isn't easy.
And if I could offer you only one piece of advice it would be take your time, patience will pay off in the long run, because this cannot be done quickly if you want a decent vehicle at the end of it. So plan it using the build book, rolling chassis first (suspension , hubs ,steering, axles, etc), engine, fuel , gearbox, exhaust and drive line next, bulkhead and wiring, brakes, body work (off the top of my head, its been over ten year since I did mine) ,
Trying to start the engine now is pointless when you have so much to do first.
