Default What engine?

My 350 is burning some oil so I want to get it rebuilt or put in a new engine and maybe get side eshaust while I'm at it. I'm leaning towards getting a new engine. Everything is stock right now and I want more horsepower and for everything to fit under the hood. I have a 3 speed auto tranny. I probly have a budget of around $5,000 to buy whatever and have it put in. What should I do? What's my options?
