Tear down, could rebuild , or watch the swap section to find a takeout. If you tear it down you could sell some of the parts here and some on race junk or something. Good luck

Yank it out, and drop in a 500 or 525.

Like Mike said....get the motor out and see what happened and what is left to work with or sell off.

Tear it down and see what happened. You don't want to throw a new longblock / shortlock / or what have you in and blow another motor bacause of a bad injector / fuel supply issue / ignition issue / or etc.....
