Sister-in-law drove my car (before I owned it), never changed her oil, eventually it had no oil in it and it died. now it has a horrible knock and I think the bearings have spun. I picked up the car for 200 bucks, but from what I have found price-wise, it's a lot cheaper just to get a new engine than it is to rebuild this one, so that begs the question: If I am going to replace the engine, should I just go back with a Northstar V8 or something like that or should I stick with a V6? What is everyone's thoughts on this? Full garage at my disposal for this, but I don't want to spend too much, but if my engine has to be replaced, I may as well upgrade while I am in there, right?
