TD5 Engine Repair/Replacement

My engine died yesterday. Driving as normal up a hill in 3rd. There was a thud, then there was nothing. All the oil escaped and the is a hole in the front of the timing case. Looks like the chain let go.

The engine was a recon, fitted in 2009. It has done 21000 miles since then.

Chances are there are many bad things that have gone on inside, so I am thinking it will be easier to replace than repair!! The car is a 1999, but due to the recon I am not sure yet if it has a 10P or 15P block. It definitely has the later head, as it has the FPR with a hose that goes to the front . However there is no EGR cooler.

Any advice on what I may run into if I replace with a 15P block? The engine wasn't running right, low on power and boosting late. The fact that it was boosting at all makes me think that the turbo is OK. The actuator may be seized but I can move it.

Basically I'm looking for any tips, tricks and advice as to what I may run into! I'm going to whip the rocker off the dead engine tomorrow night to see what the damage is. Unfortunately it is currently with a friend who very kindly came out to tow me, so I have limited access until another friend can trailer it home for me.
