If the L/S cylinder head is damaged from a valve being wedged into it, drop me an email. I think I have a couple of good used cylinder heads just hanging out in the shed.

I agree, you should at least access the damage before looking at an engine swap. There is always the possibility the damage is isolated to the head. You may be way farther ahead repairing the one in the car before buying one with the potential of having other problems.
