Rebuilding hydrolocked engines??

Is it possible to rebuild an hydrolocked GSR engine? It sucked up some water and has a whole in the front of the block.

Would the head be useable still cuz I know the block is shot to ****, just needed to know.

you can still use the head but you probably should have the head magnafluxed to check for any cracks.

Yeah you can rebuild it, just jb weld the block and slap the head back on...j/k
trash that block and rebuild the head if there's no crack via the results from the magnafluxing.
