Hi

I purchased a 1998 ford f-150 4x4 4.6l v8 windsor. Approx 250000km. The person I bought it off of didn't know much about vehicles but supposedly the top end had been rebuilt recently. It started running rough so he sold it.

Driving the vehicle home I noticed the oil pressure was extremely low and it was knocking under load.

I can get another engine with 100000km on it but I was wondering what the issues could be? See if it is worth while to fix the engine already in it or just go with engine swap?
