Seriously, listen to what the guys here are telling you. You got great advice that got you pretty far with your car on their advice right? Why would they lead you wrong now?

Suck it up, buy a used cop car for a couple grand to drive around as you save up the $ to fix this thing and man up. You can't always have everything handed to you in life.
Could'nt have said it better.

I am happy to hear you are reconsidering, Johncy! I can just imagine the enthusiasm drain once your engine went out yet, I echo the consensus for you to fix it. In the end, everything you have gone through will make for an even more rewarding ownership experience once you get the car running again. You have lots of friends here who will guide you through the steps you need to take. Don't give up!

Thanks Nanky. I appreciate the kind words. I know it will take about a year get my car up and running again but it will be worth the wait. E57 here we come. LOL

You might just find a new engine $8k for Engine and tranny so you might get the engine + shipping for $5k or less. Contact him, you have nothing to lose. Its low miles engine. Good luck !

After the rebuild, it will be hard to find another car that makes this much power and for nowhere near the cost that it will be for the rebuild.

So do you guys think I would be spending more money rebuilding my engine or replacing the whole thing?

Pick up some cheap beater DD, while you save up to fix the beast. Just build it bigger and stronger

You might get the complete engine for $5k with a spare supercharge which you can sell for $1k to $1500. Not sure how much is to rebuild the engine. I would just replace the complete engine for $5k and sell some parts or have some spares. So actually will cost you only $5k total.

Those old faithfuls sure come in handy. My 91 Accord has hit 350,000 and is still going strong. At least you don't have to worry about a DD for now as you put the beast back together. Good luck, pal!

Wow 350K I am impressed man! Check out honda on youtube. One of our accords hit 1,000,000 MILES!!

E55: It will take some time but I am willing to wait how ever long it takes to get my car back on the road.

Assume you mean supercharger pulley for time being until a Weistec replaces the stock supercharger since that pulley wouldn't do you any good with the new blower.
