Unhappy Can this block be repaired?

I recently bought a used ls1 shortblock to rebuild. It had a spun rod bearing. I figured I'd get the crank machined or replace it if needed, but then I found this when I stripped everything off of the block. It looks as if the engine spun a main bearing as well. Can this be repaired?

If going with LS1...just get a new block, they are cheap enough...

The fix would probably cost you as much as buying another shortblock after the machining... Machine work is expensive
