Just a thought.
Sorry to hear about the spun bearing.

Actually, that was something Aaron and I discussed (me, Aaron and Tyson were hanging out in Roseville right after I got the news of the motor). I think the effort of getting that 2.0L up and running will be just about the same as tossing a stock STi motor in the car, even if the cost may be less.
Really, I just want to get rid of the car as-is. If I'm going to have to work on it a bunch more, I might as well fix it and race it myself. Hell, even if I just put the 2.0L in there, I might as well race it... 250hp is pretty slow compared to the 450 the car had, but it'd still be fun. But I bet I break it again... it's just the nature of racing, shit breaks, and it's just too much work to keep up with, and it's too expensive to pay someone else to do the work for me... just in fuel alone it costs me nearly $300 to tow the car down to the Bay and back.
