Engine problems

I ran out of oil and my engine is locked up. I ran out of oil because my oil pan got hit and made a hole. Is it worth trying to buy a oil pan to fill it back up with oil and handcrank the engine?

What he said ^^ Time to find a new engine. They are pretty easy to come by these days.
