Wow!! That is no fun man! These motors are plentiful and cheap to find. Just because someone said "it ran fine when I parked it", don't mean it will EVER run again...like in your case.
Don't feel bad, I am sure we are all a victim to this situation, I know I was once or twice before.
Just keep an eye open for a 6.9 or a 7.3 IDI engine, but make sure you can hear it run before any dough is thrown down.
Your electric fuel pump, injection pump, injectors, wiring harness, glow plug controller + relay and a lot of other things are still good and will interchange with other 7.3's and 6.9's. Don't throw anythign away as you might be able to sell some stuff and help pay for either a rebuild or a used engine.
