hello first time the timing belt broke

[mephist0]

hello, first off, Ima start by saying that my damn *#$&#* timing belt broke on my car, it had only about 20,000 miles on it, then it broke on the highway going 70mph and my question is, what would you my friends recommend me to do, rebuld the engine with a nice set of internals or go buy a japanesse imported engine? It's gonna be my first time but hey I can read the manual books, and then for some reason something on my drivetrain broke too I bearly installed a clutch in the car and then It felt like the clutch was slipin' then I did the visual test on the drivesafts and axels then I raised the car a wheel at a time and tried to spin the wheel, and the test went like this, the two front tires wouldn't spin, while in gear, and then I went to the rear ones and they spin freely, so what do you guys think the problem is here??? thanks I know this post is a lil long, but I know you guys would help a fellow DSMer I love my DSM thats all I got to say, thanks

As it sounds like you have Motor & Tranny "issues" I'd drop the entire Motor / Tranny Assembly DOWN & assess what you've got before buying anything - Good Luck

Like buck said see what your working with before you go buy new parts.
