Blown up B20F 1800 1972

I guess I did a bad, bad thing. I have a very heavy foot and am blessed with a cone of invisibilty which surrounds whatever I drive. Last weekend I drove up to Chicago, about 900 miles, round trip. I was cruising at about 90 mph the whole way and the morning after returning I found a nice big puddle of oil underneath. My mechanic says I blew up the engine and it will need a complete rebuild for about $2,500.00.
I wonder if I should rebuild or find another engine. Any thoughts on the subject? Any references for rebuilders? Any ideas about putting in a newer engine?
