I am firing the car up when I get home from work today and just going to let it run until it melts, blows up, or something else catastrophic. I have listened to all that you have said and speculated, but I have too much invested in this car to sell it without knowing 100% that the engine is trashed from a spun bearing.
I don't blame you man. One thing I would suggest though is to get an oil pressure gauge cuz sometimes those pressure switches can go bad giving you false alerts. This way, you will at least be able to tell if the oil pressure is dropping due to bearing failure. Either way good luck and keep us posted!

I did not want to cause any more damage, my friend, so I opted not to start the car. I am still working through the decision making process as to sell or keep the car.
