Looking at affordable used engines. Found a few including a 2006 which obviously wasn't for a seville. Would it work with a 2000 and what years will work?

So you are at about $2000 for a used motor installed OR $600 for Jakes stud kit plus $600 labor ($1200). Sounds like an easy decision to me.

Yeah, I kind of figured that he had no idea what he was getting into for that price.

I bought the car non-running, so I don't know what shape the stock engine is in.

The rest of the engine is fine. The HG is the weak link. You'll find that the factory cross hatch hone marks will still be in the cylinder walls. Bearings and timing chains will last virtually forever.
