So getting it sent to Kevin Landers of Rotary Resurrection for a rebuild and refresh. You should be able to get all the work done and back to you for under the 5k.
After that you have relatively new car. New engine on top of all the other stuff you have replaced.
Once the motor is broken in and such all it will need is regular oil changes. Plugs and coils about 20 to 30k and it should give you years of trouble free driving.
Sometimes the animal you know is easier than learning a new one.

+1 to everything said here. I would opt for sending it out to a local shop (Rotary Resurrection) that will be able to go over the car, isolate the problem, and fix the problem BEFORE resorting to a new/rebuilt engine.
If the problem is not due to a blown engine, than swapping in a different/new keg will just cost more money while still having to deal with the old issues.
