It is looking like I will have to get an entire engine. If so I will change the timing chain and oil pump chain before I put it in the car. So much easier working on an engine on a stand!

Good luck on your new project... be sure to keep us posted. Probably want to start a new thread for that one.
Also - dont get hosed on an engine. Freshly rebuilt ones with upgraded components can be had for $3.2k USD delivered.
