Do you mean a rod is knocking or a cylinder does not have compression? please clarify.

If the engine's shot beyond a rebuild, replace it with a used engine. That's your cheapest alternative. Besides, you won't get much for it like it is. JMO

Where are at in GA? If you are up for a short drive to Nashville you can pull the block out of my junk 87. The block is actually from a 94 that had about 130K miles on it.
