He said it put a rod through the block. There’s not much fixing that.

In the good old days you might have gotten away with it but now with emission checks, not going to happen. If I was going to repair it I would look for a donor with a good engine but not much else. That way you can drive it to see how it runs (vs a junk yard who would never lie about the mileage) and know how tired it is.
