Not main car, just a project ... :-)

Nope. That will not work. At a very minimum, the one connecting rod needs to be replaced and the crankshaft replaced or rebuilt. Ideally the entire engine should be torn down and thoroughly cleaned of the metal debris. At least one cylinder head will have to come off to replace the connecting rod. So, may as well do the whole thing.
