Maybe New Motor, Advice Needed, Finally had a problem: Update Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Well, I have been problem free since I bought my car back in early 03. I guess I'm about due because of all the racing I do. I don't race a ton, but I do run my car hard a lot. I've noticed my car is now eating radiator fuild, and what's there is brown. And, I'm leaking more oil than I was, even after replacing the gasket at the camshaft, and the valve cover gasket. I really don't want to put another 5sfe in there. I was rather a 4age, 3sge, or 3sgte. Those are my choices, and in that order. What ever I find, and is most cost affective, I might put in. I might end up putting another 5sfe, or just replacing the head gasket. But I really don't want to do that. I have no time to mess with it, so I'm worried that I might stay with this POS 5sfe.

EDIT: Update in new post.

Things are looking bad. The car is eating oil and radiator fuild, and now it's knocking. It's not knocking bad yet though. Here is were I need some advice from those who know me. What should I do? Should I really swap in the V6? I have an uncle who is very knowledgable, but not a lot of import swaps to his name. He's just a very smart backyard machanic kind of guy. Most know how much I know from my posts. I'm not an idiot, but I'm certainly no expert. Money is also an issue at this point as well. I'm a full time student with no income at all. My parents are going to have to pay for everything I do. I don't feel right making them pay a good bit more for the V6 than to just rebuild the 5sfe, or buy a new 5sfe. Since I'm a 94, I know it would be a trick getting the wiring from a 96up 5sfe. Just wondering what you all think I should do at this point. Thanks.
