i think you have to get used to having a race engine apart. you break it, you fix it. you hope it lasts the season so you can do your fixing in the winter and your racing in the summer.

while overheating obviously obviously stressed the entire engine, i think you can presume just one head has failed. replace it and carry on.

if engine is dead then pull it apart and see what you broke. then fix what you broke. depending on how much of the work you do yourself it will be less $ than a new engine.

mx5 is always a good suggestion for race car. small, light. easy on consumables. lots of cheap replacement parts, strong aftermarket support.

the brz et al are showing up at a lot of tracks now. before that it was the wrx sti and mitsubishi equivalent. a civic with a k20 swap is a beast.
