Default new engine?????????

I am thinking about purchasing a new engine for my 89 and am just looking for a replacment with a little more umf in it. I do want to put back all of my original acces. I guess my question is what is out their and how much would it be to by and have it installed. My other option is to have my current engine rebuilt. What would you suggest.

I'm curious as well. Nothing wrong w/ my engine...just have seen a lot of folks go w/ 383's for that oomph factor...
