New Durango, new questions

Let me know if I was wrong:
connecting rod broke in the middle and piece of rod started hitting oil pan and possibly cylinder wall.
crank repair $100(?)
sleeve installation $150 (?)
Maybe sleeve is not needed because cylinder wall was only damaged in the bottom.
Most likely old engine only needs crank repair.
Please post picture of old engine damage.

Passenger head removed.
What's left of cylinder #4...No piston just the rod and wrist pin so far....no sign of the rings
Nasty looking passenger side head.

OK, this is interesting, because crank can be OK. Now important question is condition of cylinder wall. It is possible that cylinder is OK. If crank and cylinder are OK, you can reuse old engine or sell engine block, crank and a cylinder head (I guess one of them is OK)
I sold about 100 cylinder heads on ebay (not 4.7), probably 4.7 heads go pretty high.(150?)
Good luck, selling extra parts and getting invested money back.
Please let me know about all damaged parts, because I have a Jaguar XK with smashed spark plug like that.
