Hi Diego, a blown engine would have blue smoke if oil is getting into the cylinders.  Have you run a compression check on it?

IMHO, that is not necessarily the sign of a blown engine. If the engine has never been apart, the oil control rings might be too worn to do their job. 

<sarcasm>Yeah, only 40 years and who knows how many thousands of miles, and the engine is already worn out. Man, that is poor quality.</sarcasm>

Get a realistic view. It's an old car. Rings get worn, valve seals & gaskets dry out, water passages experience corrosion, etc. 

The engine may need to be rebuilt. As long as you can find someone familiar with the L series motors, you'll be in good shape. You can take it to some place like Dandos or Z Car Garage. You have the resources nearby. You just need the cash to pay for it.
