I'm not upset about anything it's not my problem LOL...
I'm sure glad your apartment needed paving it sounds like it cured your medical condition and just about one day LOL...
I think you could probably drop it off in a machine shop and get the short block rebuilt for about $2,500...
Then you'd still have to take the engine out give it to them then put all the oil pan oil pump water pump timing cover intake manifold exhaust and everything all back on and paint everything and put it all back in and then retune it break it in and everything else...
Personally I'd fix what you got if it's just a 6 cylinder...

Lol i wish i were cured im waiting on biopsy results. Its been a rough year. I have no issue pulling the engine. I hadnt ever needed to get machine work done so thats what i was most curious about. I have a place where i can dissasseble an engine, whats it usually cost to just get some head work done? Figure it probably just needs a fresh set of valves, new guides or seals and the timing adjusted. I dont think it needs a cam or new rings but if i pulling it im sure i can handle getting the engine honed.
