KA Picked up an engine, need advice

Ok Zilvia, I need advice. I've got a very stupid situation on my hands, so let's see what I can do to fix it.

Pick N' Pull locally had a half off day last week, so I head out to see what little bits I can pick up that I might need, mainly interior pieces that are broken and what not.

I stumble across a 91' coupe with the full engine assembly intact (KA24DE, for you who will invariably ask). So, I grab the sockets and ratchet and pull the sonuvabitch out. I get it home, sit it on the slab and leave it alone. Until today...

I pull the oil pan to check things out. First thing I notice... "Where's #2's rod... and why do I see daylight in here?" That's right. #2 went jailbreak through the side of the block, right behind the motor mount. Since I couldn't see it from the angles I was working, I made it all the way home without noticing the elephant in the room. Hole is behind the motor mount on the hot side, but isolated to the crankcase and doesn't seem to have hurt the cylinder walls at all.

So now, I ask what should I do? The head looks fine, as do the crank and all the accessories. Pick N' Pull DOES have a 30 day exchange policy, so if I can find another KADE I can just swap it out (we've seen how often that happens, I'll assume, unless somehow Altimas started counting). I also have a SOHC set up, and I'm pretty sure I've heard that the blocks are the same if I swap everything else over (everything everything, not just some things everything). Or, I can part it and hope I can break even once I get rid of the whole shebang (least likely scenario to have a happy ending, I think.)

...Any ideas?
