You need to stop and think about whether this is a tractor you will want to keep for along time. You will have more money in it than you can buy a running JD "A" for. The value of the regular old JD"A"s is only $1500-2500 restored. They have to be something special to bring more.
If you want to keep it long term than I would buy the good block and bore it to match your pistons. That would be your best repair route at the moment. It sounds like you would have a running tractor for around $1200. That is not too bad but it will not be a money maker.
Now if you do not want to keep it long term then I would try to sell it to someone as-is to break even or maybe a little profit. IF you want to work a little you should easily be able to get your money back parting the tractor out. Your good on the internet so sell the parts that way.
Several routes and several amounts of time and money. So you just need to decide which way you want to go.
