Ron,

Mistakes happen to everyone. I installed a cam timing gear backwards on my old 220Sb and drove the car for half a semester in college before it reared its ugly head. We all have our stories. In the future, I am sure you will ensure the bores are clear of any debris. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Looks like your cylinder head may be salvageable, but that is a nasty score in the block. If your spare motor is nice, looks like it will be the best way to go.
