its a v6 i take it,
NO KNOCKING IN MOTOR
it sounds like its sludged up,
pull the valve covers to see how sludged up it is,if its bad pull the oil pan and intake,
CLEAN INSIDE OF MOTOR the best you can and flush with kerosene with a catch pan and clean push rods inside,this is how the rockers get oil
put a new oil pump,clean the pick up tube and screen,
put back together,you should be good to go
yes this sounds like a good buy and about $80 in gaskets and oil pump,and a days work
