hole in intake manifold? 86 560SEL

On advice from friend/MBZ mechanic to remove spark plugs in order to try and turn engine (see other thread titled "86 560SEL, what happened??"), i removed air cleaner for easier access. Since it was my first time seeing what was underneath the air cleaner of a 5.6 I was looking around closely.

Unbelievably, my intake manifold has a hole in it!! tried to take picture but is blurry and dark even with shop light shining on it.

this is so disheartening. locked up engine and now hole in manifold. on a car with 64K miles?

should i just resign myself to parting her out?
