You could just change the short motor.
Then you can use pretty much any 2.0L short motor with your heads.(although you may need a new head presuming the rod may of damaged it)

The short motor is just the engine bottom end (lower casing with the crank,pistons,rods etc) excluding the heads.
Any 2.0L short motor (from 93-06 inc STI) can basically be used with any 2.0L heads although you will need to get the correct head gaskets.
