Well, after jacking it up, it appears that all the oil is all coming from the rear of the motor, under the transmission cover.
When running, the knocking can be felt through the clutch pedal! It runs, but would clearly not do so for long!
If I swapped blocks, I would want to do so in a manner that allowed me to keep the stock ECU and stuff, if we are talking a full wiring harness swap and stuff, I have a much better candidate and not nearly enough spare funding at the moment!
