A rotating assembly would be better I would think. The rods from your motor are most likely bent and it could have damaged the crank as well. Take your time here,don't try to rush this together. There should be plenty of motors available out there. The weekend is here, hit the junkyards and start making calls to all local yards. Negotiate a good price, don't pay what they ask either because it will need to be gone thru as well.

When I lost my motor I found a couple within a 100 miles of me. They were pretty pricey though. I paid like $1800 for mine with 38k on it. Believe the cheapest was $1000 with a bent valve. Just depends on where you live.

Is the motor beyond repair? has it been torn down yet? i mean if iw ere you id have it bored, and a thourough machine job done. The 5.3 under forced induction on stock internals can take alot of abuse. But it would be worth it to upgrade pistons. supercatxr7 will have a better parts list for you if you hit him up. He was the first fully built turbo motor i recall around here
