Frustrating but have you considered sticking another engine in there if the rest of the car is good?
Could even do a VVC conversion.

unlucky mate, if its just an engine and the car is good is it worth keeping? get xmas etc out the way and get it running again, or would it be more cost effective to go and buy another as after all they aint worth too much these day.
keep it and turn it into a long term project for track use or for whatever takes your fancy.
