Car is toast, need help

I launched a rod through the block last night. Nitrous killed the stock 350 in my 89 formy. I'm a bit PO'ed but I was being stupid and greedy with the bottle.

My problem is that I wanted to get a crate engine to drop in. I have a procharger kit for the tpi that hasn't been opened that I got for xmas. I want to get a 406 crate engine that I can stick a FIRST intake system on and the procharger but no juice, I'm done with it. Where can I get a good Forged internal 406 long block for around 8k. Don't have time to build it myself, since my promotion, 60 hours a week takes up most of my time.

8K limit, must take a FIRST intake system and my procharger. Must be forged internals. On 9 psi, run on 92 octane, and be reliable for weekend cruises.

Thanks ahead of time cause I'm lost and almost want to sell the car. I'm ticked but it was my fault.
