If the car has had bad compression for a long time then it would of been putting a lot of soot in the oil, which is hard on the bearings due to the acidity of the soot. How much oil has you car been using?
The $500.00 car was South Carolina = 13+ hours straight through from here one way, with no weather or construction zones.
If you have sense, it is a two day round trip + two day engine swap + fuel + disposal cost for old body, the junk yards do not pick up free here = roughly $1,500.00 out of pocket, if you DIY.
