Think I killed my engine

Well… pretty sure I just killed my TW200 engine, I was out on a trail ride, but I didn't catch that the oil had dropped way low, so the power suddenly seized and I heard a nasty knock before it stalled out for good, although I haven't torn it down yet but I'm bracing for the worst. I want to start bracing for a full rebuild or engine swap, maybe I should just a hunt down a donor engine or something, I must admit, the engine has had a long ride but I didn't expect it to knock out soon
Appreciate any suggestions or advice
 
Sounds like trouble.. A rebuild should be your last resort, hunting for a good used or donor engine could be quicker and cheaper, more practical for me too. These TW200 motors are tough, but once they run dry, there's not much saving them. I'd tear it down to confirm, but definitely start hunting for a replacement just in case.
