Blown engine? Mercruiser in line 6 making a noise like a mixmaster

My 1972 inline 6 mercruiser (200 HP) died and is making a clangaty
bangaty noise. It still runs but makes a lot of racket. No connecting
rod sticking out of the block and no oil in bilge just a lot of metal
noises coming from the block. Before she blew the dry compression was
good although wet compression showed low in one cylinder . Oil
pressure was good too.
Any ideas? Worth fixing ? A new V6 costs 20K installed!
===========================
Hard to tell without tearing it down but it sounds serious.
Installed price of a rebuilt block should be no more than $3 to $5K,
maybe less.
