self explanatory if motor is locked find culprit and fix ; if valve is bent replace , while head and chain are off if motor is still locked then rebuild or replace. Sounds like from lack of oil that the bottom end is siezed. Good luck

I would look hard into finding a decent used motor.

It really depends on what you expect out of your engine. If you plan to just drive the car with some occasionally spirited runs here and there and the occasionally trip down the strip, snatch up a used engine and call it a day.

If you plan to beat the living tar out of your car, build your engine. Then you'll know exactly what condition it's in.
