Mike,

Unless you can find a free donor block and head in good working order,
take a look at the Moyer Marine site, he will sell you a short block
(and head if you need it) for a fairly reasonable price considering the
labor and expense you'll have to go to in order to repair and rebuild
what you've got, or even recondition a suitable replacement that isn't
already in serviceable shape.

There is what I now consider something of an inside joke on the 'rebuild
it yourself' portion of his site where he says " If you like to do your
own work, this is a great way to save hundreds of dollars."  

Good luck.

Andrew

>The damage icluded:

>We broke the head in half

>I broke 1 stud off in the block, below the machined surface

>I broke 2 valves off

>And there is some pretty serious damage to the top of the block,
especially 
in the front where the crow bar entered. The block needs to be machined,
but 
I do not know if it can be machine in the boat or if it can be machined 
enough to get a good seal on a replacement head. Does anyone know if is 
possible to machine the block, in the boat?
