lol, reminds me of a VN I bought with both side of the block missing and fine metal powder in what was left of the sump, was the rod at some point.
Still ran and drove ok apart from a knocking sound and violent vibration lol.

This one I did few years ago, cross flow ford 6 in an old school transit van.
Gasket blew, lost all coolant. Cracks between all valves and plugs.

I have a Ford/Mazda Diesel van that I pulled apart 15 years ago and every combustion chamber was cracked between the valves. Took it to a mate who does engine work and he said to just peen it down with a small hammer so that's just what I did. It has never lost coolant "touch wood" all these years.
