so i was driving down the highway when my celi (89 gt-s with a year old rebuild motor) and all of a sudden it craps out on me, i was goin 110(km/h) and it just died, so i am like "oh shit", i try to bomb start it but it didnt go, so i coast to a stop and check under the hood ... theres a hole in my block, i believe a rod penetrated alll the way thru the block somehow, and this being a relatively new engine i am just pissed off now. theres no warranty on the motor anymore and im debating what to do, theres already damage to my car from previous hit and runs...so its kinda...yah...the front driver side fender is pooched, and the rear passenger side quarter panel has a lil dent in it that i can pull out, just no time yet, any idea what i should do? theres not many celis here in regina so parts are in high demand (for me), any suggestions on where i should go with the engine? i still want to keep this bad boy and im not opposed to having it chill for a while if i can get a new engine. i just thought id ask you guys being how you're the pros, finding a 3sgte would be sweet too if anyone knows a good spot to find em thanks

A place called foreign engines carries JDM replacements u could check with them. Last time i checked they said they wouldnt carry GTE's because they are such a high demand motor and they couldnt order enough to make a profit or something but they would be the best place to check.
