I would get it to a garage and find out exactly what the problem is. Get it trailored rather than drive it, do you have breakdown cover as they may recover you to a garage of your choice? Only then can you decide on a way forward.

You could rebuild your engine with a forged setup for not much more than £1200, that way you wont have to risk buying another half dead engine, or you could fit a v7-8 sti engine.

That sounds cheap! Is that including a new crank?

Crank, rods, pistons, bearings, gaskets, modine, sump and oils etc will be more than £1200 on its own without labour

You wont need a sump just a clean will suffice and you could get away with giving the existing modine a PROPER clean instead of replacing it. Agreed when i said £1200 that was parts alone, i know it can be done as ive just done it myself, import car parts for the win
