how much miles does ur motor have right now? if its up there..then a swap would probably suit you better, if not, why waste a perfectly good engine? an EX head swap that oc mentioned should be your first step..that is if you keep your current powerplant... don't forget that money is an issue also.

there's a lot of "head" to be found on ebay ..
 i believe it is also called a "mini me" swap..are you planning on goin' forced induction with your car? if you are then i'd save up for a new motor, since rebuilding an older motor would not be as "cost-effective" compared to an engine swap..
