Why not buy a low mile engine and have that tuned instead of fully rebuilt?
Do things like balance all of the moving parts to be as close as possible, replace the parts that do wear.
An engine with less then 80,000 miles on it will cost you $400 to $500, you could even install an engine like that as is other then a few things like new timing belt and still come out spending less then $1,000 without you lifting a finger other then to write a check.
