You have a PPM (Purple Pearl Metallic) car. You fix it. Best color, def worthy of a new powerplant. How did you "blow" the motor? Spining a bearing can sometimes be realatively cheap for a rebuild. Sending a rod through the block can be big bucks, we need to know what happened first.
Welcome to LS1tech. My first question would be can you afford to rebuild it or replace the motor? You can purchase a rebuilt or used one to get it back on the road rather quickly but it's all whats in your budget motors can go from $1500-$3500

I agree, it is nice to see/hear of a young chick that wants a real car, fix it if at all possable. but if you buy a motor from someone make shure that the person knows what they are doing, cause it can drive you nucking futs and could cost you alot of money and time if not. Also now is the time to figure out if you are happy with a stock car or modded, cause now would be the time to build it right the first time
