I'd say, get another block and crank.  Hopefully the
walls will just need a good honing.  Transfer all the
new stuff like bearings, pistons with new rings, buy
one more bottom end seal kit, and throw it in the car.
 I guess you'll need a new headgasket and bolts to,
that sucks.  I'm pretty sure the crank on the engine
you get will be good, my old one that survived 180k
miles and two blown headgaskets is like new, and will
probably get re-commisioned someday if I ever get
custom rods for my car.
