turbo II motor dead @ 168k

well last night i blew my first motor. it sucks, i was driving showing my friend how fast it was and took it up to 7k in first and second then was going like 60, so i put it in nuetral and coasted down the road for like 1/4 mile. i put it in first and turned around and felt no power. i barely got it moving i got it up to about 40 coming back down the road. i got stoped at a light and it took forever to get moving. so i pulled it back in the shop where i work adn started looking for things that went wrong. i thought vac lines poped off and i had a huge vac leak because it was only pulling like 8 in of vacum and idleing at like 500. i couldnt find anything. so i listened to the injectors with a stethoscope and herd the front primary working, then put it on the rear primary and herd nothing. so i took the injectors out and sent them to get them cleaned, but the guy who cleans them for me maching is broken. so i left it there for the night. i was thinking that it was only a fuel problem. so i went down today and though oh **** i better not have blew the rear rotor. so first i got my compression gauge out an hooked it up, and relized that 0psi on rear rotor, and only 75 psi on front. but the motor was cold. im thinking the problem was because i am premixing and since the injector wasnt firing no oil got in the rear housing.

so now im looking for rebuild kits. any suggestions?
i will be doing it my self and porting it.

um no cats man full 3inch exhaust, and it did flood a little but i had a fuel cut switch, and i had the injectors cleaned out 2 times before this, but i put my motor in a different car, and the car has sat so imsure the gas was bad in it. i guess there was a bunch of **** in it and it clogged that injector.
