94 R2 rebuild from engine fire

[Ed R]

I have removed my damaged engine from my car and have evaluated all of the parts I need to replace. My engine will also need to be rebuilt since there is rust damage inside the rotor housing due to coolant that leaked in. See attached pics. This is gonna get expensive! I have come to the conclusion that I should just buy another long block. I have located several JDM engines from different suppliers, but would love to hear some advice from the experienced members if this is the best way to go.
