On such a small run I'd be surprised the wrong viscosity will have do that much damage (75W90 instead of 0W20/5W30).
If you can get a brand new car out of this then go for it... but before doing an engine swap or a car swap for a similar car (that you won't know anything about) I'd negociate to test your car for a month or so (and have a signed paper with all this written down) and then decide after if you want to swap or not. If you're car feels fine, performs fine, consumption is fine, oil/water is clean, temps are fine, ... then I'd just "forget about it" rather than messing around with an engine swap.
Please don't flame me for this! It's just my first reaction when I read your post...

I will start the flaming!
This, your engine got heavy weight oil for a very short time. I bet if the engine is pulled apart it will be fine. I would ask for a simply worded warrenty that covers everything engine related for what ever time frame. Then call it a day.
New car and motor, rofl wow so many people think they are entitled to so much.
