seems like nobody has answered your second question so far "how much is the car worth as a roller"?

Well here's my math:
You probably paid around $20k for the car.
Putting a new engine in will cost around $12k ~ $15k.
So the worth of the car as a roller is probably around $5 ~ $6k (if you find anyone interested), depending on how the car looks and if it has Xenon etc.

That's not much and so IMHO your only way is to "raise" the cash and get a new engine

(P.S.: have a look at the last line in my signature)
