I am starting to pull the engine in the Talon this month. I am pretty sure it had crank walk. Spun to different sets of bearing. Does anyone have any suggestions before I dig into this project to far. I know there are a hand full of you that have dealt with this same problem before. And I know you are all going to say do a 6bolt swap but I am on a budget with this. I dont want to throw another 1000 to 1500 back into the engine. If the head is still good I would like to reuse it. But what do you guys think?

I'm not sure what the other's might think about this, but you could cheaply pick up a 6-bolt NA block, and swap the necessary pistons/connecting rods out. You'll be without oil squirters, but it's an option, I guess. It would be cheaper than sourcing a fully assembled 6bolt turbo motor.
