You could swap in a motor from a donor bike, there is a motor for sale in the classifieds section:

After the swap, part out the bad motor and sell the good parts to get some cash back.

How bad is "blown"? It should be rebuildable, but until you know what all is screwed up on it, you won't know how much money you'll have to throw at it.
