Here, I will save you the choices. REBUILD IT.

I agree, you have it down that far, I'd rebuild the engine and save the chance, I wouldn't trust those bearings after contamination...

I would just throw her back together and drive her. Rangers last forever!!

That's nothing. Wait until you start pulling apart GM 60 and 90 degree V6's that have intake gasket leaks that go ignored.

Yep. Flush the oil galleries and do a very thorough coolant flush.

Been there done that.

I'd take that thing all the way down to the bare block, and send it out for hot tanking. Clean it up, paint it and seal it up until you need it. Then put it together.
