May I ask WHY the engine has to be  replaced?

I don't know the particulars of the engine damage to this vehicle, but does  
the entire engine need to be replaced, or just the heads?  Seems that  
replacing the heads would be a much simpler undertaking, and less costly as  well.
 
With regards to the 30v upgrade, can those heads be installed on the 12 v  
motor, or is the bottom end an entirely different animal.
