Sorry to hear about no oil in the sump.  That probably means at least a re-build.  Did you pull the prop through to see if it was binding and what the compression was like?  Don't get too frustrated.  At least its not a lyc and going to cost $10k to rebuild (like just happened to an RV-6 owner here who forgot to re-secure his oil fitting).  At least the plane is not dented.  The oil will clean off, parts of the engine will be replaced, and you will someday climb >3000fpm.  :-)
