I'm going to have another shop look into to tell me exactly what is wrong with the current engine. Info I have now is very vague. The knock sounds terrible though when it's fired up, just not sure if there is a hole in it or what.
Thank you all for the info, I'll reply back with more specifics once I do a bit more digging. Ya'll have given me a lot to work with! Thanks!
Side note: How much is an engine swap going for these days if I did want more power?

Right on. If it's just knocking well you could just replace the internals with fresh OEM parts save some money there. That's if it's just rod knock.
As far as more power swaps depends what you swap it with. Most V8 swaps have been priced on ward of $8-10k. But all depends what motor, tranny, EMS. Then depend who does the install/tune. Either you do it your self or get a shop to do it completely or finish the rest.
