if the car is complete, you'll get more than if the engine was missing all together. however, with a blown engine, your target buyer audience will be a lot less than if it was running.
find a used motor out of a protege ES, swap all the MSP specific parts over and there ya go
i say an ES motor cuz the junkyards think the turbo motors are friggin gold mines
I just bought one with a blown motor for 2500. If i were you i would keep the car and fix the motor if the body is in as good shape as you claim and you just buy a used motor out of a junk yard like others said i could see you getting 5-6g i would just fix it and keep it though.
