I vote for you getting a snorkel installed on your car to prevent you from sucking water into your engine again.
I just read your other post, it sounded like a fairy tale by the way,.
I have the feeling you were in the parking lot, doing donuts in the rain, hit a huge puddle and sucked in water to your intake, killing your car.
Or you could be telling the truth and you just happened to park in a 18" sinkhole and had your car suck in the water

Make it into a nice, manly coffee table.

If you're going to build a motor, you should at least get the cylinders honed correct? To ensure exact fitment with each piston.
I mean not many people have the capability to machine their own engine.
Now when it comes to installing kits etc, people still do it. But these motors are not carbureted. You need some experience to piggyback the ECU and tune it.
Some people are good at the mechanical side of things, others are good at the electrical/tuning side. Not many are good at both... that's why there's shops

What a waste on an engine. If it were me, I'd put that thing in an rx7 or a 240, quick.
