Whilst I applaud the effort in trying to save old parts (I'm doing similar things myself nearly every day!) I think sometimes you just have to move on.
Turn the block into a coffee table if you must - try selling the parts that look half decent or use them as back up spares to support the purchase of a whole Ponton.
I don't know for sure but I get the feeling that if you'd got this engine back up together and you couldn't find a donor vehicle with out an engine you'd buy one with, swap out the engines and then be back at square one with "an engine that you need to do something with"!
