Don't rebuild! Swap a DE in for ~$500 with a gasket/water/oilpump job... Totally worth it!

If you can't afford $500 to fix your car, and you're going to try to sell a car with a blow motor that won't gain ya much, how will you afford a new car? That'll probably be one in pretty bad shape.

I bought a nice condition 96 GS with some MS parts on it for $300 with a blown motor so that should give you some indication what you"ll get for your car. Doing an engine swap is the cheapest way to go for sure.
