I'd say it's probably worth replacing the engine.  :)

Nothing that I'm aware of.

Probably the 1.8

Again, probably the 1.8.

Either 16v engine will be somewhat expensive to modify
compared to an 8v.

Don't let another 'roc die.  Invest some of that $2500
insurance settlement to keep another one alive.  FWIW, the
G60 would be a lot more effort (expense) to install, but it
could be done.  I'd stick with the 1.8 or 2.0 16v
personally.

My $0.02
