New guy with questions!!!!!!!!!

Just bought this 68 LWB with opitional 396 and AC, the engine was a rebuild that sat for some time before getting it fired up. Once started it was found that the heads were not touqed down and a valve on the number 1 piston was bent. Removed the engine and found STD bore pistons and a small crack in the number 1 cylinder wall. I am thinking I can bore .30 and be fine, however I am not sure I want to spend the time and MONEY involved in a rebuild.
I am considering going with a small block just to get the truck on the road. I am new to the C-10's having recently converting over from mopar so that i could actually find parts.
My questions are should I scrap the entire project and run, or being that its a 396 truck shoud I stick it out and do the rebuild. Also if I go small block will I have to get new motor mounts, and will the BB bell housing fit a small block?
What would the truck be worth disasembeld?
I will try to post some photos for you guys to see.........
