Its quite likely that the rings are very worn on your engine hence the low compression. This is typical of engines that were not run on synthetic oil.
There are however many other parts of that engine that are sought after including injector lines, starter, vacuum pump, cylinder head, flex plate with good starter ring, power steering pump and bracket, alternator and I'm sure there are many others. If the pistons are 1st oversize I would love to have them.
There is someone after a complete transmission right now but he is out on the left coast so you are not much closer to him than I am.
Paying shipment for the whole assembly may be daunting to folks but in smaller chunks it might be worthwhile.
I am only one state over from you and I recognize the value but I really don't need it as I just bought a new diesel car and I'm being pressured to thin my herd.
