Coming home from Ocala today I get on it pretty hard, everything seems cool, and as I'm slowing down I start to notice a heavy clatter around 3k. The clatter doesn't seem to be even though, it seems to be fading in and out so I limp the car home. As soon as I get in the carport it stalls out on me. I let it sit to cool down for a few minutes, go out and start it up (it fought me but finally started and stayed running) but when I rev it, theres that rod bearing noise right around 3k. Temperature was fine when this happened as was oil pressure, but I'm sure its a rod bearing its the same noise my KA made when I bought the car before it threw a rod, and the same noise my first SR made on startup day. So this is the 3rd engine in the car now.

What should I do?

Should I save up and rebuild and upgrade the SR with the spun bearing on my porch?
Should I do a factory rebuild on the SR on my Porch?
Should I just buy another longblock?
Should I say fuck it and just part out the car?

Money is tight right now, I don't have another car to drive, this car already had close to 400hp, cams, GT2871R, Intake manifold, etc so I don't know that a stock rebuild is a good choice but I can't really afford to drop in new pistons/rods etc at the moment.
