I hope you sent that post above by a cheap cell phone, otherwise you should take some grammar classes before posting.
Look into getting a motor from a junk yard. I did that before when my 2.7L in my Dodge Intrepid seized due to a design flaw.

Robb at Pineapple Racing is somewhat local. He is in the Portland, OR. It is my understanding he will rebuild the motor but not install it.
Charles will fly to your house, pull the motor, rebuild it and then install it.
Another some what local option is to have FD3S Engineering do the rebuild for you. They are in Beaverton, OR.
