"Plan A is to find a decent short block and have the crank turned. I wouldn't consider just throwing in a used engine and hoping it would be ok."
Then why did you ask for a reliable used engine source?
Personally I don't think a major engine rebuild can ever match the standards of a factory assembly- even a used one in good condition. Cranks and connecting rods alone are individually ground and balanced and fitted and to even higher standards than typical on a low friction engine like the 2.3l. You might get close to replicating that in a skilled high performance shop at considerable expense.
But in the end either will work (rebuild or swap). People do both all the time.
