I'd save the head. Franks TDIs in Missouri might buy it. While I would never BUY anything from him (he me hard on a head once), you might get some money for it. He fixes some brutal stuff, and then sells the heads for like $700. He's on TDI Club forum.

Save the Vacuum pump!

Is the block useable or does it have a hole too?

this engine was in a car with the head off for a few years, at some point the PO put some lubriplate on them but not as soon as he should of I'd say cause there's some rust (like a shadow) on the bores that would only be fixed by boring them out. So the block is good if you don't mind going 1st over on the cylinders.
