The critical part you should inspect first is the crank's rod-journals. If those are toast, you're looking at $1000 in machine-shop services to rebuild the crank, resize con-rods, find oversized bearings, etc.
A used pre-gen engine can be found for much less. In fact, I have two on the shelf, but shipping will be prohibitive.
