Between the Bay, C-list, and car-part. com you should be able to find a used engine with under 150K. Like Ray and SMP say, swap over the turbo, ECU, etc and drive happy.
Do a thorough flush of the cooling system once the engine is back in, and change the oil at least once in the first 1000 miles to clean it out a bit, being sure to get it nice and hot before the change, then run synthetic.
If you're paranoid or want to do a preemptive strike, do the water pump before you put the "new" engine in the car. All new hoses, new mounts, etc. Some would also say do the tripod bearings, too. There's a lot of "while you're there" stuff you can do with the engine out, depending on your wallet, time, etc.
HOWEVER... why did your engine fail? These are pretty robust engines that usually don't have a catastrophic failure.
