Need connecting Rods and possible crank shaft

I bought an MX6 4 cylinder 2.0l about a month ago. Was told it needed a head and a timing belt. So I finally got around and tore into it yesterday. Took the head off in about 30-45 min. Well anyways this is a standard car and wanted to check the cylinder walls so I put it in 2nd gear and a friend and I gave it a push and noticed right away that cylinder #1 (far passenger side) did not move at all. So this thing let go of a rod. I have looked around but cant find any sources to purchase rods and a possible crankshaft to get this car going. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in Advance,
Joel Rodriguez

So are you just going to try to throw this stuff in or are you going to have it put together by a machine shop? Depending on the answer I will know what advise to give.

I have a 4cyl 5 spd with some aftermarket goodies for sale, needs a brake line. Great running car. Ask me if interested.
