Do a compression check on it.that will tell you about the internals.
Also a Pressure test on the cooling system woudlnt hurt either..It is best to do those 2 tests First rather than just assume that the engine is toast.it will save you BIG bucks if it turns out to be something small,like a bad hose.
Try this Site: www.rotaryresurrection.com , Hit: Tech , and then find your way to compression check.
