It is not an 'engine' but a collection of parts. Most of which can be replaced to improve oil retention, cooling efficiency, cabin comfort. A used engine will not have any of these in good condition anyway. Fix the rest of it. Start with the most important problems first (cooling - radiator fan), belts, vacuum hose (don't forget the rubber bushes in the intake as well), vacuum advance. Inspect the harmonic balancer to see if it is ok. If you have to replace it, replace the front seal and oil pump o-ring as well (this is probably the reason for the failure and is also probably where the oil is coming from). This souinds like a good weekend project and a few ben's. It is much cheaper than a new car or an engine.
