Personally, I think I'd slap another 454 in it. It looks like a rebuilt unit can be had for $2300 or so.
I'm not sure what part of the country you're from but I searched car-part.com and there are quite a few engines on there including remans and one with only 12k out of a motor home.
I'm on my second engine swap of the year. The first a SBC and the second being a LS1. As I'm sure you know, its fun but always costs twice as much as you think and for something you use to pull and travel its far more practical and way cheaper (in most cases) to stay with the engine it was born with.
Of course, if you've got the money and time to burn and want to go for it, I'm all for that as well!
