Default destroyed engine

Ive had a 99 reg s2000 for the last three months

Recently one of the con rods parted with its components and left through the side of the engine, right next to the starter motor, leavin a big hole.

1st It has bent the four of the valves is this likely to ave bent the shafts?

2nd Im now trying to source a second hand block to be reconditioned, any help would be much appriecated.

I've heard $400 for a bottom end with one bad cyl, on these forums. The guy swapped out the bad piston, (or journal bearing, or whatnot), and was good to go.
