If you plan to keep the car, I think getting a replacement engine would be the quickest way to get the car on the road and not have to rent a garage.

You have the ambition and tools to do an engine swap in your garage or driveway. If you drop the engine and install a "good" engine from the bottom you can get by with minimal tools. (The same way Porsche factory did it). Basic tools. Bloody hands.

uvachief,

My comment was to support your decision.

I posted the engine rebuild done by HondaDustR as an example of difficulty.

I understand how your family obligations will focus your choice.
