That's different I kind of like it, more pics :) the crank on the 4 engine is the weak spot and also in some cases very unreliable the best cheapest and also tunablility a later engine would be best, up to you really. The head is the same up to the 8 so you could get the bottom end from a later and use your head

hello and welcome !

my advice to you is scrap the block cos thats the part with the design fault. get yourself a block from a later car cos you wont cure the crank walk. the fault is in the block itself :)
