I have a chance to buy a 95 with a straight body and decent interior and 3.0 for $1500. What would be the best options for a replacement engine short of a swap? The owner said the engine has developed a knock, so he doesn't drive it. I would appreciate any opinions on this model and whether this is a good buy or not. Please list the pros and cons of this year model if possible. Thanks guys.
