CA18DET=KAPUT daily driver, need to fix ASAP

[frftw]

I have a ca in my s13 and i use it to commute to and from connectucut from vermont every weekend... i kno it sounds nuts, well it is. i was driving about 230 miles into my 350 mile journey to vermont and my engine started making lifter noises and within 10-15 seconds it blew. there was no oil leakage and no oil on the dipstick. I check my oil regurlarly and my engine does not burn oil usually. also the tailpipe did not smell like burnt oil, though the dipstick did. I think the bearings definetly are defenetly spun and the sidewalls might be ugly too (i hope not) cams probly toast from the way they sounded on the lifters. I should have pulled over right away but i saw a sign for parking next right and foolishly thought i could make it. I am going to pull the head off tomorrow after class (full time student) and ill post up what i see. pics too if i can get a digital camera
Any Ideas of what happened would be great as it came as a total suprise to me.
thanks

maybe lost oil pressure

i kno i was thinking that too, if so imma kick myself for not getting an oil pump. the only thing about that is there was no oil on the dipstick so where would it have all gone?
im in the library now studying, might take the head off tonight if im not too tired, got exams comin up meh...
thinking i might put a ka in for now and build my ca over the winter, would pay off in the springtime
