Engine flush is bad stuff. It loosens the crap up and at best it opens up gasket leaks. But normally it loosens up crap & kills bearings and such. Bad bad bad.

Plug all the drain backs with rags & clean it up best you can. Put it together & hope for the best. Change the oil often (I'd use regualr oil, not synth, and high qual wix/napa or k&n filters. Right after cam break in. Again 30 minutes later. Then again. Then for a while change the filter every 1000miles/20hours running time and the oil every 3rd time.

Or start looking for a good 350 core. Which, since you are 14, you have time to do. Maybe a late model roller out of a truck.
