Bummed out

Well today I was going through the 2 hemi's I have. One is a truck motor and the other is a car motor. I bought the truck motor from a running rollover. Went to take the harmonic balancer off and broke a bolt in the crank. I've even had a machine shop work on the crank and it will need to come out for any other work.

The car motor I was told overheated a few times. Well nitrous will do that. One piston is melted away and it took the block and head with it. However I think the crank is ok.

With this all said and done....where do I go from now? Just clean the block, install the car crank into the truck motor and make a 5.7L motor to get the car running and afterwards build a motor.

OR?

Build a 5.7L stroker motor and save for a 6.1L? Money is tight however with a new baby at home.

I wish one of the motors had a decent bottom end.
