Default 1992 SC300 - Blown Engine!! Help!

My brilliant son remembed to top off the radiator - good boy! But forgot to put the cap back on - idiot! and blew up the engine - totally fryed. Had it towed to a Lexus dealer in the Raleigh/Durham NC area (only place I could see that made sense from looking at Goolgle Maps from Atlanta area...

So - I could use some help from you guys!

1) Any good mechanics you can recommend that can drop in a new engine into the car in the Raleigh Durham NC area?

2) Any guys parting out old SC's with frame damage and a decent low mileage engine still intact and workable?

3) Anybody interested in purchasing the car? I'll cut you a deal!

Thanks!

Tom
