Just listening to you I could tell this engine might go to crap. "the rod cap feels good" (you measure and resurface if needed) "cylinder walls feel pretty smooth" (again measure and determine necessary work).
There are things you will not find in FSM and are really important.
Do you know why it spun the bearing. If you don't you might spend $1000 building up and same thing might happen. Some stuff you should leave to professional.
And people that are giving advice, seriously think about the situation. You are telling him get the crank resurfaced and some new bearings and put it back together. I see a 10% chance this engine will make it past 1000 miles. It's not just about a damn crank and bearings. Could the whole block gotten distorted and might need a line hone? How will he find out if he never checks?
MONEY! This guys knows whats up!
