v8 conversion or rebuilt engine 200 1990

In this past week there was a 94 degree day out of the blue and I succesfully allowed my car to blow it's head gasket. I now need to replace the engine. Something I do not have the time, tools, or expertise to do. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could fetch myself a used/rebuilt B230F for my 240DL? In addition, with all the fun talk of v8 conversions, I was wondering if it would be worth it to do that since I need to replace the engine anyway? And if so, what is the engine make/model I need to find? And is there someone in the New England area who will do the swap, or even put in the rebuilt B230F for a reasonable price?
Thanks
