full rebuild kit and maybe a new crank/rods. disasemble the engine and take the black and crank to you machinist to get miked. from there he can tell you what size bearings to buy and if you need a new crank/rods reusable

not really worth it if you can find another short block running for about 150. :b

Short block running for 150? Where? And you need to find out where the knock is and how bad it sounds. If its coming from the block then your most likely culprit is the rod bearings, which isnt as bad as it sounds, but a knock or why the knock started at 70k is most lilkely bad maintainence so who knows what else is wrong with it
