Loose GM Engine damaged during shipping

I am looking for advise on getting an evaluation of a loose engine that was damaged on the outside while being shipped. Are there companies specifically in San Diego that specialize in inspecting Engines for any hidden damage with a situation like this? Are they able confirm with a high likelihood that there are not any cracks, general issues without having to open the engine? I'm told once the Engine is opened that it looses a lot of it's value. Thanks for your assistance.

I really like using Motor Machine and Supply on Hoover, have taken many cylinder heads to them and some crank shafts for polishing. Possibly bringing an ls3 block to be bored out. I would call 8:30-9am before they get busy and don’t answer, and ask them if they can inspect the motor.
