The head may or may not be damaged. Without disassembling the engine, you won't know. These three replies sum it up:

It's up to you whether it is worth your time to attempt salvaging a head that may be bad, or to just source a new longblock and replace the entire thing.

If its *NOT* at all damaged, then I guess you could just get a new block... But if I were you, I would take this as a excuse to grab a new motor and do a swap, Im thinking a B18b would do you well.
