It really depends how bad the rod bearing seized. If the top end was not damaged fine. But since you have to split the cases to get the crank out and replace the rod bearing...the 2 main crank bearing should be replaced too since you are there.
fresh built top end blown up

So the lower rod bearing is not something I can do myself I have to buy a new crank or have mine rebuilt?
Yes you need new crank or yours rebuilt, the list i previously posted was the bare minimum list of parts needed in your current situation, your gonna be 250 dollars or more to repair your engine
I'm gonna guess that the previous owner did the oil pump delete and then somewhere along the way somebody dumped straight gas in it and the piston seized and they sold it to you. The rod bearing was collateral damage at that point. Once you rebuilt the top end and started wringing it out, the rod bearing bit the big one. That's just speculation that doesn't really matter at this point. It needs a crank.
Yea I'm finding more ans more things that the po screwed up it's getting old. I work at a machine shop is there a way I could rebuild my crank
it's a gamble ......take a chance on a good used crank ?
you'll still need at least new seals and gaskets, and main bearings should be done too.
