May just replace the bearings any how. Does this seem feasible to anyone? Unfortunately I do not have the money for a rebuild or rebuilt engine. I can get 1 from the junk yard for a couple hundred dollars with no guarantee it will work. Any input is appreciated
Have you removed the rod cap and inspected the crankshaft?? I would say the crank is also bad if there were parts of a bearing in the pan and a hole in the pan.

You are probably looking at a different engine installation.
