yank the motor and take it apart. drop the block off at a machine shop and let them rebuilt it. You'll save $ doing that.
Or buy a crat motor like a ZZ-3 and bolt your injection system back onto it, sell your aluminum heads to recoupe some costs.

I know you can get Jasper long blocks from Advance all day long for $400-$700 for a Chevy 350. You can look into that too. Core charge is usually around $250 so be prepared for that too.
