1984 fiero just take block out?PLEASE HELP

[FieroFan]

Ok just to make a long story a bit shorter here is the jist of what has happened
and what ive done......
ok so i buy these 2 fieros for 800 under the assumption that the guy new what he was doing and thought it was just a head gasket that was blown.so i take the head off and notice a piece of metal laying in there. i remove it and inspect the cylinder walls and everything. not finding anything i take the head to the shop and it was a little warped. hoping that small piece of metal was nothing i put it all back together.starts up fine but billows white smoke after it warms up.and then over heats.always turning off and not letting it overheat. soo i tear it done again and see the crack in the sidewall of cylinder one. i couldnt see it before because the piston was to far up.regardless. this comes to my question. i know i can take the whole motor and whatnot out the bottom but is it possible to just take the block out via the top and leave everything in???????? i need help asap becasue driving season is just around the bend.also it it a auto 2.5 4 banger

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
