Given the history of poor maintenance the car has seen, I would seek out a JDM engine from one of the many salvage engine importers and go with that. You will want to vet it properly before purchase though. After installation, be sure to pull the plugs and spin it over until the oil light goes out. Otherwise, you will likely spin a bearing because of how long the salvage engines typically sit. The only other choice would be a full rebuild as the bearings and rings are likely shot at this point too.
