wellllllllllllllll-------------if you are on a budget, You should at least follow this no cost path for a ways---------take the damn thing apart and see what caused the problem and what the damage is----if the pistons and lower end are ok you will just be looking at the top end and it could maybe be reasonably repaired---by repaired, I don't mean a 400 hp at 7500 rpm package, but a reasonable, driveable , runs on regular gas package that lets you enjoy the car.Ann that path will let you use your trans, water pump, manifold, exhaust system, etc, etc, etc
