HELP! Blown engine! What do I do now?!

Thanks for the replies guys.

The car has sat for almost 2 years now. When I last drove it, I was simply cruising on the highway @ ~70mph and the car just died on me. Had it towed to a local mechanic and he "claimed" a piston was shattered. Now, I have no first-hand knowledge that this is what happened, like i said the car has sat for a long time now. I should really peek into the plug holes and see whats up. I live in Nashville and the car is in Atlanta so the next chance I have is this coming weekend. Ive got the time and experience to do the work myself, just trying to find the best way to get a decent running engine in there. JDM's are sketchy buys huh? Is this always true? I suppose looking into the block is the first thing I should do, however, if its simply a BHG I would be very happy.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Adam
