Anyways will shopping around.. any suggestions on replacing motor or doing a 2.5 or ej20 jdm v7 or rebuilding it..
I would hazard to guess that if your crankshaft broke then your engine wouldn't be able to provide power to the wheels. So since you can't start the car, you could try putting you car in gear, take the E-brake off and try to push the car, if it moves fairly easy then I'd say you most likely did snap you crankshaft.
