op posted the cost of his core at $1500 cdn already.

nickies are $5k usd here: https://lnengineering.com/products/watercooled-cylinders-pistons/36-911-nickies-inc-96mm-fsr-je-piston-set-inc-rings-pins-clips.html

$2k usd for crank was from previous post.

you can gamble on ims bearing (note the results in this thread if you lose that bet) but vendor here has bearings averaging around $750 usd, not to mention tools and other bits that will have to be replaced.

not off on my costs whatsoever. feel free to back up your statement and prove me wrong. not sure you can however, given that op posted a pic of a cracked cylinder and you advised in post #5 to replace the heads ...

Question, what makes you think the crankshaft is "95% toast" ? Cranks are incredibly durable, and built and balanced for stress.
Step one would be to disassemble and analyze the parts before making any $ conclusion.
If I was to wager, the crank is fine, the piston is gone and connecting rod is probably cracked.
OP, if you really are convinced its a 15k mess, I will buy it from you for 5k and fix it myself and keep it.
cracked cylinder ? where
