Hey guys im sorry I couldn't post the video, my phone just wont let me. But im assuming that im just going to have to have the engine rebuilt going off how it sounds. The guy I had bought the car from had told me the engine and tranny was once rebuilt at George Gates Automotive at 99,957 miles on it and i bought it at 176,000 miles on the dash it and right now it has 179,000miles on it so I dont know why the engine already has to be rebuilt . My question is much would it cost for a stock rebuild for the lt1 ? Im also looking to re-use whatever parts I can that are not in need of being replaced. #96 Caprice Classic LT1 9c1

Is the engine down on power, using oil, smoking, knocking, making any noise or metal?

The engine is knocking rediculously. Sound like shoes in a drier but very consistent.

Cheap rebuilds are nearly always a step backwards from stock as you already found out.

I would sooner look for a used stock engine.

I was thinking about actually getting a brand new engine but I want to keep the one I already have because it is a real 9c1 package . What I was saying is that I want to get my engine rebuilt to origanal stock specs and if the parts are still in working condition why not reuse them , no reason for any upgrades this car is my daily driver and I really love the **** out of this car.
