Now that I think of it; Idaho is far...but if you strike out on engines I have a fully studded and balanced rotating assembly I had built a few years back for a huge turbo car that I never used. I could take out the head studs and you could literally put all the stock parts on it. The rest of the car should fall apart before that motor would quit working LOL. L32 pistons and rods (from the '04+ GTP's), ARP Main Studs, brand new bearings throughout. Block has been decked for a little more compression but not enough to affect anything on a stock car. I'd always suggest putting a downpipe in there though while the engine is out if you plan on keeping it. It's the most restrictive part of the car. ZZPerformance sells a nice bolt in catted or catless unit that hooks up right to the stock catback.
I'd also replace things like the motor/trans mounts, have the cylinder heads gone through at a machine shop, have the lower intake hot tanked...and if you want, I'd reseal the supercharger with new anerobic sealant, put a new coupler/fluid in there and scrub out the throttle body as well. You'll basically have a brand new engine top to bottom with used parts.
