As The Wrench Turns...
Got the heads off; and posted some pics on the metalworking Dropbox

See valve.jpg 3 pics
No damage to the cylinder wall or head, and just a couple minor dings
on the piston crown. Lucky me.

Definitely looks broken! Hope it goes back together without any more
problems.

I was surprised how corroded the combustion chamber was!

That's a lot of rust on that head. Other one look like that?

The result of the failed right bank manifold, allowing sea water to run
in the exhaust port into the cylinder. That's what seized the valve
also. Only 2 cylinders show rust on the right bank, none on the left.

That makes sense. So what's the plan?

Or any machine shop that does truck engines. They pick up old heads from a
junkyard and rebuild them. They won't accept marine heads for cores.

Same opinion here. If you fix this block, the next thing that will happen
is one of the side plugs, buried down where you can't get at it will let go
and you'll be back to square one. (assuming it's raw water cooled). Don't
bother asking how I know.

Just one data point. Had a Jasper rebuilt 350 develop a rod knock
with only about 25k miles on it.
I'd go with a factory crate. IMHO.
