engines are either long or short block. it depends on your motor size, but you wont have to replace that. it depends on the amount of damage. but either way. put oil in your truck! it should run out unless there is a leak!
A short block is the engine block with crank, pistons, and rods. The long block is a short block with heads, cam, etc.
It depends on the situation, but it would be worth a try to put in fresh oil and filter and try to run the engine. Stranger Things have happened.
If you do have to replace the engine, you might be able to get away with just a short block. Assuming your old heads and cam are in good condition.
