Jeep Grand Cherokee big end gone/replacement?

Ihave a 2001 grand cherokee 4.7V8, and has just been into the garage after a loud banging noise was heard in the engine. I was told the big end ahs gone and to replace it with a recon or new engine (£5,000 to £10,000) ...... is there any way cheaper of getting it repaired and back on the road?, thanks John
