Have you lost oil pressure? Usually when a main bearing goes you lose oil pressure. It could be a conecting rod, but If its been ran very far there will probably need extensive machine work to get the components back in specs. I would check in to a long block rebuild from a local distributor, not one from autozone, checker, ect. Also if you want to go the used route, check with a lot like pick and pull. They usually run weekend specials where you can get a used motor for 149.00 stuff like that. In some cases you might be able to used a newer year motor if they will interchange. I just put a motor out of a 2000 neon in my 97. I hade to change over all the sensors and manifolds, ect. but I would up with a motor that had half the miles of my old one.
Good Luck!
