The only reasonable mechanic to work on your car is a guy who posts on the brickboard
under the name of "tsteph12".
But plenty of help is available here and on swedespeed's RWD forum.
I WOULD NOT tear the engine down if it has very little time since rebuilding.
Be sure and get a GOOD battery for it. Nothing is much worse than being ready to kick it off
and not having enough soup in the battery to crank!
When you turn the key on you should hear the fuel pump in back run for a second or two.
If not, it won't go until you fix that.
Your clutch may be stuck. Not usually a serious problem; run it in neutral until you
are ready to try driving it.
I STRONGLY recommend that you replace all the rubber fuel lines under the hood (and in back as well)
and be SURE that you get line that is rated for fuel injection service.
Look at the line before you carry it away. If it says "Not for fuel injection systems." give it back to them.
Your FI system operates at 30 psi and your fuel pump can deliver enough fuel in a few seconds
to burn your nice car to the ground!
So get a battery and new fuel lines and see if your fuel pump runs and we'll go from there.
BTW I have a 73 145E known as the Yellow Peril. Long story.
