How did the oil pedistal break? I have to ask because the only time I have seen this happen is when a car nailed a tree at 40 MPH, it broke on the firewall.

Also your engine is probably fine the oil pedistal see's oil after its been through the engine and before its pumped to the oil cooler. on most cars you would have to loose more than 3 quarts before the oil pickup tube see's air, and even if it did for a very short time there is a good chance of no damage depending on oil and engine speed.

I bet you could, and I am not opposed to the LSX or any other swap, but I bet your motor is fine. If you drain the pan and have at least 2-3 quarts, then it probably never sucked air, even if not there is a good chance the engine is fine.
