Knocking? Bad engine? doesn't give much detail on what is actually wrong. Knocking could be caused by a large number of things that doesn't necessarily mean the engine needs to be replaced.
Also, the topic came up in a thread about swapping a N/A motor with the SRT6 motor, there are a lot of problems with replacing the original motor in these cars.
Anyone else want to throw in a little advice?
I really don't think it needs as much to be rebuilt or replaced. Whoever this is needs to figure out why it's knocking.
