Sorry I cannot help much with your six, but have you posed this situation to the guys in the "inline six" forum yet, maybe they will have some input for you.

Sounds like worn bearings to me, Usually a reman block with run $1000-1200 depending on where you look, to have a machine shop rebuild the motor usually runs about the same, if you go the machinist and have him keep the work minimal and the motor is in overall good shape, you might be able to reuse parts and save money, maybe. Whatever you do take it to a machine shop that comes highly recommended, Good luck
