Also can be a 83-89 turbo engine doesn't matter I can't afford a rebuild I have two complete motors at this point one has a knock and the other has locked up.

well lets just say when i drove it to where its parked it sounded like 4 little men were in there with really big hammers pounding on the crank. But how would i be able to ship ya the entire motor minus the turbo?

get a crank kit and swap in a new crank. not too expensive and it will get you going again...

It would be quicker to just swap the engine again cause I don't have really anything hooked up just the wiring, fuel lines, and motor mounts and I can pull it again.

I also don't really trust my self right now in pulling a crank out and putting another in I would be afraid of messing up the tolerances.
