I am going through this now. Want a K swap, can't justify the cost yet. I'm just going to do a leak down and comp test, tear it down and check the rod and main bearings. Replace what needs replaced and send it.

Mine is smoking a good bit and my mph/lap times are down about 4 seconds too. Pretty sure I'm on borrowed time at this point.

I can't imagine I'd really need aftermarket internals for stock power, but what did that run you?
It's really shocking how expensive a low mile long block is. I thought for sure I'd be able to grab a 30k mile crate for like $3k. More like double that for double the miles.
Anyone know what year engines and transmissions I can use?
