There is an easier way than changing out the motor. You can take the engine mounts loose and jack the engine up and drop your oil pan. than you have access to the crank mains and the piston rods. I have done this a couple of times on my 85!!!!!!!!!! That will also be the cheapest aslong as you did not drive the car that much with it knocking. IF YOU DID THAN YOU NEED TO MIC. THE CRANK JOURNALS AND COMPARE YOUR READINGS TO THE SHOP MANUAL. IF NOT WITH IN SPECS THAN YOU WILL HAVE TO PULL YOUR ENGINE. Do what you can first before you go that route.
