Humm, doing those repairs woulden't require the oil to be drained. Ck your reciept, see if they charged out oil and possibly a filter. A lot of dealerships will change the oil as part of a job like yours because of getting pieces of gasket debris in the system. If they did change the oil then I would say they are on the hook (their insurance).
If I were you I would begin my own search for a good used engine. Otherwise the insurance adjuster will, and he won't care where it comes from OR ask important questions like you would.

I've worked in dealerships or in the car business most of my life. The insurance company will look out for themselves before you I'm afraid. GOOD LUCK!!

PS don't let them "fix" the old engine. Make them put in a different one. Once the engine has been oil starved its a done deal.
