Well

IMHO I would go with a Chevy LS motor swap. They are plentiful, powerful and there have been many successful 'swaps'...Perhaps the easiest hp per $ so you'll have a wonderful engine and tranny again...

They were specifically designed as replaceable. They are not inherently expensive, nor difficult to change. They were designed from the outset to last so long...and that they do. Sure I have a 92...

Several turbo'd 4.4l from BMW right now(essentially the same motor)...seems you'd not have to reinvent the wheel. Yep you'd have to spend some $. But either way you're gonna spend some...IMHO
