i wouldnt imagine you're running nearly enough power to blow the motor due to manufacturer weaknesses...Id first find out WHY your motor crapped out so you dont do it again. VS just trying to build one so it doesnt happen again. Style of driving, constant redlining, leaned out (bad tune), etc.
if its your only car, id toss in a stock one, then get an engine stand and a spare block and slowly build it up over time. because your desires and power needs are going to change and youll want to plan it out over time. plus if you take your time you will not be rushed to over look something during your rebuild (supporting mods, etc).
just my .02...but I also just blew my L61 in my 04 cavalier with the same mods you have (im running a Stig ported M62 and LS1 tb though). But my problem was a bad tune and a years worth of hammering my car and racing it on weekends (and i take care of my stuff and dont red line it very often at all). so i feel you! Im dropping an LSJ into it and it should hold plenty for a few years..i hope. lol
