What to do with a blown up motor?

My shop took it apart and tells me that the heads are perfect and asked me if I want to sell them independently as it will cost some $$$ to prep them for sale.

Whats a 78W motor with a hole in the block worth? Any ideas? I would rather not spend any more on the motor and would prefer to get rid of it as is.
