Default Need 5.3 engine or new shortblock

I have a 99 silverado with a 5.3 engine,it got hot and then no oil pressure ! I took it apart and everything looked ok,no spun bearings, And so i took it to a local machine shop and there telling me it has collapsed pistons,but doesnt need bored,but its gonna be$1,900 for rebuild kit and the machine work ,and i had a heartattack ! What should i do? I would like to find a new stock shortblock and resurface and use my heads,does anyone know somewhere i can find this ? Or another engine maybe even a 6.0 with my parts ? Even a newer motor that will work?

I need someones help on a motor to get this running again

Where are you located?
Why do so many users not at least list their home state?
How are other people going to know if they're close enough to help out?

You're a little far for me to help you out. did you do a search on car-parts, for a local yard with one?
