The worst case scenario is a bent rod. Next is a scratched cyl wall. Both of these unlikely but need to be checked.

if this is a wagon, you may be hard pressed finding a head or an engine, however. You can use any bottom end, but the head has a different casting for the attachment of the suspension pump.

if you want to save working time and frustration and its someone else's money, find a good used engine.

If you are trying to save money, pull the head, inspect components. These valves break before they really bend, small dents on the tops of pistons are no big deal.

Invest in a dial indicator and measure the max height of the piston heads from the top of the block to ensure no rods were bent -unlikely

teeth on the crankshaft sprocket need to be examined.

$3,000 is absurd if you do the work yourself.
