Default car got towed home

i was diriving home from my g/f house the other night and as i was driving down the road the car started pulling to one side, about 300 feet down the road the engine starts free revving while in gear. so i pull over and the car konks out. i try to start but to add insult to injury the battery decides to die so im sitting ther about 4 inches from the entrance to a gas station with a broken car and a dead battery plus its like 30 degrees outside.
well the thing is the axle has ben clicking for about six months now and earlier that day i bought the new one to fix it. how ironic......
i get the car home and the next day i pull the axle(or what was left of it) out of the car. a total of five peices. the outer cv joint was completely rounded out and the inner boot cracked and flung about 9 million pounds of cv axle grease on to the firewall.
i got the new one in and all is well again plus my insurance is re-embursing me for the towing costs.
im thinkin the next thing to go is the motor cuz it was obiviously botommed out on the oil pan drainscrew and the oil hasnt been changed in about 13k miles oh well when it goes, the b18c goes in

does any one know where i could get the best deal on a b18c swap?

you can't take car of current motor, why waste money on a swap?

Yeah no joke. It's a 20 minute job that's going to save your motor. If nothing else you could have sold that D series motor after you swapped, but damn sure not now with 13k between oil changes. That's almost a whole years worth of miles.
