i had the old 2.3 in my first car with a 5 speed. If you care about him get it fixed and sell it for double. Go buy a good car. Otherwise get really used to changing these head gaskets. Mine went twice. Right about 20,000 miles each time. Start memorizing the procedure now.

Don't get me wrong, I would help out.... but "do it for you?" No thanks.
Beside, the bearings have been sitting in there for more than a week. The engine is toast.
A v6 swap is possible but the rest of the car isn't in good enough shape to break even; not that they have the money to invest into it either.
