In the end I had my local shop rebuild my engine, as they had torn it down to see what damage there was.
math gets bad at that point. assuming the crank is bad (i'd say 95% chance it is ...) then $ look like:

$1500 Cdn core
$5000 Usd Nickies = $7000 Cdn (exchange rate is .72 right now)
$2000 Usd crank = $3000 Cdn
$1000 Cdn IMS and associated parts
extra cost to repair cylinder?
all the bearings, gaskets, chain ramp and pads, chains, etc.?
heads thoroughly cleaned?
shipping of the block to/from usa from canada?

$15k easy. and that's not valuing your labour. you can buy a running 3.6L X51 for that. consider selling the heads to try and recover what you paid for the core and go back to square one.
