Thrown Rod

I just purchased a 72B (with the assumption that the engine was scrap)with a
thrown rod partially exposed thru the block. Assuming the internals are not
destroyed, can the block be repaired or is the whole short block scrap? This
engine was rebuilt approx. 40k miles ago.

I can't pull the engine now because I am still putting the 70B engine back
together. But I can go acquire another rebuildable short block while I am on
vacation this week.

Thanks for any advice.
