Not to be cheeky, but why? Couldn't you probably get a decent running one for about the cost of the parts needed for a rebuild?

get it bored to a 1.6 and then go about doing headwork on it to..
sneeky sneeky sir 
a lot of peeps dont see the point of rebuilding engines they just stick them in and when they go bang they get another one. autovaux do almost everything you'll need and there was a post on here a few months back about a parts company that do all the valves, guides, seals, gaskets and what not for relativly cheep.
and alan some peeps like the idea of rebuilding a old engine even to its going to cost a few bob
