You can buy a used working 2004 or newer 9-5 for as little as $4-5k (or less) nowadays, so that seems to me to be the easy solution if you must get someone to do the work. If you can do your own engine swap, then keeping the 2001 will be viable, depending what your time is worth. If you do the swap make sure the pcv system is up to date - did it sludge? 114k miles sounds low for a 2001, and these cars tend to do better with more highway miles than short trips (mostly short trips and/or infrequent oil changes along with a non-pcv6 car, would be a likely candidate for sludge).
good luck!
