Then for your old head and itb's you could probably get another $300 depending on if your head survived.
Replacing the motor when something like this happens is generally a better way to go than rebuilding. Rebuilding usually ends up really expensive.

I paid $750 for the new engine, shipped. So I think it's very possible I could recoup almost the entire investment. Rebuilding it would have been stupid, probably costing $1000+, even if there wasn't a hole in the block, and there would be nothing to recoup.
I have an automatic transmission (no idea what it's compatible with yet), torque converter, an ECU, the wiring harness, a map sensor, coil/ignitor, power steering pump, AC compressor, alternator, 20v head, exhaust manifold, throttle bodies, airbox, etc. I didn't see any damage to the head, and based on how the engine went, I see no reason why it would be damaged, but I'm gonna go over it with a fine tooth comb and make sure before I sell it. Hell, I might even be able to make money on this, lol.
