In addition to fanaudical's excellent comments, let me ask: What's your budget? How will you split that among the various sections?
Like him, I highly recommend that you rebuild a 3.0/3.2 engine, or even buy one already done. Your old 2.7 will need several thousand dollars of case work that a 3.0/3.2 won't need, not to mention months of waiting before you can start assembling it. If you go this route, you can build the engine in parallel, and keep driving the car as-is until you are ready to do the swap (plus tranny rebuild). The delays rebuilding the engine are longer than the delays rebuilding the tranny.
Unlike fanaudical, I recommend that you try to keep it a "driving project." Assess your and your son's time and skill and determination to do a full restoration. Those take years, and your son will probably be off to college before it's done. A driving restoration will keep the motivation up, and provide more fun in the meantime.
