So we are picking up an already setup 240sx lemons car that has a rod knock in the KA24E. We are all capable mechanics but none of us have dealt with the s13 platform before. The biggest question is should we just rebuild this motor? Swap in another 4cyl? Go big with an LS swap? Motor budget is about $1500. Little more information- the head has been redone already and is in great condition and the 5spd has been recently professionally rebuilt.

Not being Silvia guys there is an intimidating about of information to sift through so I'm hoping to get everyone's expertise on this.
