One answer Chief...Rebuild..(which if you go down to the crank you r already 
doing 90% of it anyway....)
  If you are going to keep it, you don't want to go BACK into the engine 
again do u? If you want to build another engine, fine repair the one with the bad 
crank. But its already blown up and spread evil doings throughout the engine, 
so its probably best to start from scratch with the thoughts of building from 
block up...anything you don't have to add later (are the Heads in great shape? 
Is #4 cyl and combustion chamber ok?) Did the rod throw trash into the oil 
passageways?  What about damage to the piston? will you be able to get away with 
a unmatched piston in the 4 chamber?
   Those are the important questions...
