dang, I did't check Car Talk
In that case I will turn this into a poll in order to avoid further embarrassment.

Considering this car will be a future classic, what would you do if you pop the engine?

YELLOW JACKET

replace it or rebuild it to stock spec. otherwise build the shit out of it. last resort, swap.

I would: Rebuild to stock spec...or...replace with good condition, low mile, used engine...or...replace with a fresh, brand spanking new, Honda F22c crate engine.

My dealer cannot find even a short block.

I don't think I could ever do a swap unless I keep the original motor preserved and the swap doesn't require structural modifications. In other words, this would never happen in my world.

My realistic plan would be to find a very competent shop to rebuild my original motor with some hidden improvements - balanced and blueprinted, port match and polish head, JDM pistons (more compression iirc), maybe a stroker kit. The goal being to keep numbers matching and stock looking. This way I can improve performance a bit while retaining future collectable value. The CR is the COPO Camaro of our model, so I don't expect my regular AP2 to appreciate the same.
