if the car had to blow up from not been properly modded then it would had blown a long ass time ago when i had that setup, all that was bad was the tune. that made me quit with all the moddin and spending money, so i went back to stock...and after 40k miles is when this happens...btw am not complaining why my motor blew..if it blew is because of something inside the motor went bad, all am asking is for help to find a new motor.

I have heard of the rocker arms breaking on these cars before are you sure the whole motor is trashed? I would pull the head you may need to just replace the rocker.
