i forgot to mention that i am flat broke. i made a few calls and it looks like around 2k for and engine rebuild and 3k to install another used engine - both are out of reach for me
i just got off the phone with mechanic, he says cylinder 1 is completely dead and needs a new engine. I dont have a garage to part out and sell so i'll have to sell as a whole

Please help a brotha save some money
:::UPDATE::::

Didn’t get a chance to update. Found the issue with first and reverse. That huge plate that hold the shaft in place was falling off. Bolts rusted off. Photo shows plate in place. It was previously hanging low about 4 inches

P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detec-
P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detect-
P0320 Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed input
P1294 (No description)
My local mechanic says that replacing...
