I was going to suggest swapping heads off the bad engine.
I'm actually headed to Lowes to see if I can find one or a heavy duty snap ring tool, I might be able to get the prongs down on either side and crank.
I thought about that but being that it sent a rod through the oil pan my thinking was that there might be damage to the head.

If you can, use a center punch to get you re-centered. Then start with the small bits and work up.
Lots of penetrate oil works. Soak em for a few hours.
Same here, they always leaked.
Wait till you break the f'n extractor off flush in the bolt. Then it gets fun.
Did you get that head off for me?
Well, I've done all that I can do at this point without damaging the head or any possible water jackets...
I had a guy from kimball tools come over today and we tried a bur took on it that took it down to a flat spot and then we tried reverse or left hand drill bits to attempt to get it out. He thought he had a carbide drill bit but he did not.
I ended up ordering a broken tap extractor and it'll be here Monday.
I thought about looking for some dry ice to try and freeze the tap so it could crumble like a pretzel. Might be looking into that possibility over the weekend. I'd really like to get this engine in the car. ha ha

They work great. Heat the head or cool the tap, if she doesn't budge. I have used R22, but don't tell the EPA
