Default Threw A Rod through my block

Hey guys, I pretty much threw a rod through the block of my 93 Civic coupe. There's a hole about the size of a softball. I was wondering what the best approach would be. should i buy an engine out of a junkyard, swap theblock and rebuild the head and such. Or should I Just swap the whole engine and rebuild the reminance of my current engine with the hole in the block. Keep in mind that a turbo is in the works by spring. All input is welcome. Thanks

get a block from junk yard and build up from there with stronger internals and just get it prepared for turbo

just use some jb weld to fix your hole
j/k i would get a junk yard block and take it to a machine shop to have them check it to make sure its all good, then build up a nice bottom end for turbo.
