Can you do any of this rebuild yourself? Otherwise I dont think it would be worth it. I spend about 3K for parts and machine work including crank re grinding and balancing on mine. That includes new clutch, radiator and starter, allot of extras. As you know the automatics are slooow and not real good on resale. If the crank is bad it may not be saveable in which case the engines is a door stop. Also If she neglected the engine, hows the tranny? As was suggested a junk yard engine would be you bast way to go IMO. The engines are easy to swap out.
