Help! Wiped cam lobes? - Video inside

not a daily driver. no panic, but the room mates aren't happy about me taking over the garage. I'm not opposed to fixing it but i'm not sure if I have the space. Can you pick an engine from the side? like from the front passenger quarter panel? my driveway is pretty steep just outside the garage and shes taking up a lot of realestate.

I've never rebuilt an engine before. I've got a book called "how to rebuild the small-block MOPAR" so that should help. I assume in a case like this I would need to have the block cleaned and honed by a shop to get rid of all the metal shavings?
