Headrage,
Your first post asked about only doing a top end rebuild. Lots of people with these mid year cars are looking for the cheap way out. I doubt that your car received the needed upgrades to the engine case because they cost more than the car is worth. For me, I look at what it would cost to buy another car. I decided to rebuild the motor, new interior, and a paint job, instead of buying a newer car that I am not interested in. You'll have to decide for yourself whether you want to fix a great car, or cut your losses and move on. If you decide to fix it - you can look at it as an investment. It's a lot of money to get a good rebuild - but you get what you pay for. These engines can last a long time when done right. This is a DIY forum - I think most would vote to fix it right and enjoy it for years. Spend the money up front on quality, and it will pay off in the long run.
