Tear it down and check for damage yourself.

check the engine numbers, if its the original A-code, pull the oil pan and take a look at the bearings[this can be done with the engine in place] if the bearings are bad and the crankshaft is ok, then pull the engine and do a rebuild. I would keep the engine if it isnt totally screwed. Would rather have an original A-code than most any replacement.. With a fresh quality rebuild you can have a good, reliable car again, maintaining the original flavor of a classic.

Water in your oil and vice versa usually means a blown head gasket, but sometimes can be attributed to a cracked block. Tear down the top half of the engine and see if the head gasket is the culprit.
