Spun Balance Shaft Bearing, Need opinions.
Okay, I posted a couple threads on the issue before, but long story short is that I spun a balance shaft bearing, my belt disintegrated, and took out the CAS. The only positive thing out of the whole situation is that the timing wasn't affected at all.
I was able to pull the pan off today, and this is what I found. If the crank doesn't have any damage done would I be able to do the BSE, and just replace the oil cooler?

The whole motor is bad
As soon as the bearing spun and some of those shavings got sucked up into the rest of the oiling system.
You could throw it all back together but it's a risk.
If I were you I'd yank the motor and build it.
Or pull it apart, clean it, polish the crank and put new bearings and carry on.

The funding is just REALLY, REALLY tight right now. She's already been down for 11 months due to a highway accident that has caused me 6k at the point (hard lesson learned) and she's my DD. So, I've been using family members cars since then to get to work.
That's why I only suggested a BSE & Oil Cooler change.
I'd hate to do a tear down, and not do a build.
I'd like to shoot for around the 500 mark in terms of power numbers
If my head is good, then I should be able to possibly get away with just a piston/rod combo along with machining cost correct?

If your funds are low you can just delete the oil cooler. Many have done it with no ill effects. You can add it later when you have more free cash.
You could try to just do a few back to back oil changes and see if you get lucky and not spin any bearings or mess something else up, but it is a gamble.

Block needs to come out and bearings need pressed back in where it spun. Regardless of funding situation, it will cost you alot more later if its not done correctly now. Everything should be checked for debris and anything that doesnt flow oil well like the lifters, HLA, etc. needs to be inspected or replaced.

Thanks for the heads up guys! I guess the saying "do it right, or do it twice" comes into play here. Besides, knowing my luck, if I tried to chance It my crank would take a hit or I'd shoot a rod thru the block. I'll have to pony up for some sort of mild build.
I'll have the head cleaned, and checked. Maybe add the Kiggly HLA
and then just build the block repolish the crank, new oil pump/front case.
