Technical Replacement Engine? advice needed

[mtimm]

Its a 2010 1.2 petrol 500 164k miles,
It has been using for a fair while but recently this has been excessive.
Today the engine mount let go, stripped the threads out of the head, with the top left breaking a piece out of the head.
I got the engine secured and started it to drive it home and there was a horrible rattling sound from behind the timing cover.(not the piece the broke off the head I have that)

I have the car home but haven't done any further investigation yet, But I'm thinking all considered, replacing the engine might be the best option.

All opinions and advice welcome.

also what model fiats and year range would be suitable as replacements?

many thanks

I had to change the sump on the 500 when I got it so that's one thing I will definitely be checking
