With that degree of metalflake in the oil, I'd presume the worst. You can pick up a new short block for around $1800, then have the rest of the parts thoroughly cleaned replacing those that are shaky. Given how little money you currently have in the car, I'd personally lean toward selling it and buying a new one. However, if cash was really tight or I was looking for a project I'd go the short (or maybe even a built block) route.
