Default Is this head salvagable?

Hey, I just picked up my k20 longblock, got it real cheap! I knew the guy had misshifted and that it had a bent valve, so I was gonna replace already. Nut I was just wondering, is this head salvagable? it looks pretty bad to me...

An experienced custom fabricator / engine machinist or just machinist in general could repair it. As for pricing who knows, but anything is possible!

Keep hope alive!

P.S. If you don't want to bother with it, I'll buy it / take it. Just PM me.
