Blew my motor need advice now

I blew my motor last night, was doing a little tuning and everything was fine, car ran great. Got to the end of the offramp and it dies, started it up, ran fine, got to my house it dies. Car idles rough as hell, but would boost fine above 2000rpms. Ive faced that its blown. It was stock with 40k miles on it. Now I need advice on what to do for a motor. I was running
To4r with a 1.32 exhaust housing
full exhaust
power fc
850 primary
1600 secondary
rp triple race pulley kit
greddy elbow
rx7fashion front mount intercooler
aeromotive fpr
cran hi-6
cran lx92 leading coils
what motor and porting do u suggest, and where do u suggest. Im in mass but will pay for shipping.

Sorry about the motor.
There are alot of places that will build a good motor. The key is finding one that can do it in a reasonable amount of time because parts are hard to get right now.

its funny how some people have great experiences and some have horrible ones. i guess it depends on what day of the week it was built . i dont think you can go wrong with pinnaple or bruce turrentine.

I have a lot of experience with pineapple motors, as a huge number of customers (over 25) have come to me with them and they always were fine with the exception of one and when we called Rob up and explained the situation he sent out a new motor immediately the customer just sent him the old one back, I think the larger problem is that people choose to come here and bad mouth vendors without solving their problems with the vendors, as if to try and get back at them or something. Thats how the internet empowers the consumer I guess, Bruce is a good guy also no doubt never heard a bad thing about him, never met him personally but seems more than nice on the phone.
