Need a replacement engine

I have a 94 corolla with 203,000km thats going through oil and have more or less concluded that im gonna be needing a replacement engine, at this point i just want to get another 7A-FE nothing fancy. not sure exactly what to do ...

1. Used low km engine from the wreckers
2. Rebuilt short block then transfer balance of old parts
3. Rebuilt long block then transfer balance of old parts
4. Buy a used engine and tackle a rebuild myself
5. Push car off a cliff and take the bus?

also if anyone knows of a reputable place that sells rebuilt engines or a good shop to rebuild one for me please help me out

thanks

I would recommend doing what i did and what a lot of other people do, I bought an imported engine with about 50K miles on it and put it my car. Didnt bother with a rebuild considering the lack of miles on the engine. and engines imported from japan typically have between 30-60k miles on them, and most importers offer pretty decent warranties.

im not sure of any engine importers in canada, but im sure guys from the US will ship there too. Look on ebay for imported engines, and if you dont see what you want, email one of the sellers, they can get whatever you need most of the time.
