Get a used motor. I spun a bearing in my old 3.8 firebird. I bought a crank kit like this one and about 1 week after install it spun another bearing. The shop didnt warrenty it due to it not being there parts. 800.00 down the drain there.
Just get a used junkyard motor and call it a day. Also I used 3 qts of Lucas oil and 2 qts of 20W50 oil and the knocking went away. Put about 20,000 miles on the bad motor with the lucas oil setup. Just another Idea in case he needs to get around or has to save up before buying a motor.
