Welcome to the site Justin.

The easiest and cheapest solution is to figure out what is wrong with your motor.

If the motor needs rebuilding, the cheapest route is to find another running 4 cylinder.
Craigslist is a good place to start. Sometimes you can find them being sold by people who are
converting from the stock 4 cylinder to a V6 or V8.

You have come to the right place for expert LUV advice, with pages and pages of threads that
are just LUV.
