He was a master of the type 616 4 cyl motor, left lots of books and an engine building video that is a hoot. If it really is a Maestro motor and the serial numbers match the paperwork, you have a genuine find.

Be careful on startup! It has been sitting a while since he built his last engine in 1995 I think. I'd be sure to turn the engine over very gently using a wrench on the generator, and then turn it on the starter with the coil wire disconnected until you are sure you have oil pressure.. Use a guage if there's the slightest doubt about the oil pressure light. Don't crack a ring on first start up and give it plenty of time to warm up. Check the brakes too - a car sitting that long may require some sorting before it's safe to drive.
