Well replacing the short block was in fact the right call.
#2 rod bearing was toast, haven’t split the block yet but suspect at least one main bearing is toast because it still won’t turn smooth with all the pistons out.

Heads look decent enough to re-use. I found no metal in them, oil filter did its job.
