Take a look at these photos of another tear down... I have never seen cylinder wall so bad, and #4 has two long gouges in it???? ouch! I thought I would be able salvage the crank and rods out of this one... now I am not so sure. I'm gonna need a jackhammer to get those pistons outta there! 
This block was never "baptized" as far as I know, but it surely looks like a lot of water got in there. Odd thing is, there was no water in the oil pan when I drained the oil, but there was water coming out of the oil filter housing when I loosened the bolt.

I think I would find a way to cut the rods and let the pistons stay in the block.

I'd look for something easier to work with, time is still money even figuring as little as $7.00 per hr. that engine is too expensive just to tear apart .
