I wouldn't give up on that engine quite yet. Looks like the front end is bad, but could probably be cleaned up. You would have to check the inside of the cylinders for rust and even if they were bad, they could be re sleeved. Worst case and easiest and cheapest may be to replace it. The head is valuable if it has no cracks. Rocker covers and side panels are easy to find.

Probably a matter of how much you want to spend and if you want to keep the original engine.
