Problem not all that unusual for 4.8. I don't recall anyone posting the engine needed to be replaced with your symptoms. Some corrected problem with different oil, some with work on the PCV system and some with new valve seals. Unless the engine had a major failure that could score a cylinder, I doubt the engine is gone.
Good that you are testing existing engine before buying anything. I would go to well recommended Indy to have the tests done.
