Hello SOL'ers

Here I sit with a 1980 Triumph TR7 with rod noise.  Now whats a boy to do.
My first thought was to put a RX7 motor into it (TRx7 ?) but I got over that.
Next I thought of a small block V8 (ah, a TR7(8)) after getting the skiny from
John's cars in Texas, No go. He offers a V6 kit from a late model GM, but
must use the GM Trans as well.

SAAB? Then last night I noticed the SAAB 99 swap.  It is True, I could go
from the worst engine to a swedish ?

The other problem is that I keep seeing prices of $3000 for a rebuild of
my engine (I don't know which end a wrench to use), so the job goes
outside
Any suggestions?
