Since you're trying to save for the swap, I'd look for a known-running, low-ish mile engine and throw it in for the time being. It won't cost as much as a rebuild and it'll get you back on the road. Of course, there's always the chance that there will be something wrong with it and it will put you even deeper in the hole...
