Before you can decide if it will be worth it to rebuild you need to get the head off to get a better assessment of the damages. Pull the heads and let us know what you find.
What happened? Did it died down quietly or did go out in ball of smoke?
I was going over this with a mechanic friend the past winter and he told me that, unless the damage is absolutely catastrophic requiring huge sums to fix it, it's always a better idea to fix the engine instead of getting a second hand one. Unless you can find a brand new engine in a crate you never know the condition the engine is in.
So take out the engine, open the heads and see how bad is in there exactly.

I had my girl on it on the back straight of ECR and it died a quiet slow death.
She said the oil light came on and died just like running out of gas.
It will be a few days and I will report with more diagnostics.
first thing is to check the oil and filter to see what comes from that.
I have a few engines in stock and can give you a good deal right now if you find you need it!
