if ya don't wanna gather parts and do the rebuild yourself you can just buy a rebuilt shortblock with forged interals and lotsa goodies for $1675 www.fasterthanyou.com (see their ad banners posted around 2gnt). they get their blocks from vtengines (www.vtengines.com). several members have already had their rebuilds done by vt and have been VERY satisfied. if you go through faster than you there's a $400 core charge so i think you can just buy the block for $2075, swap it, and send em your old block and get your $400 back. that way there's barely any down time. i think if you go directly through VT they don't always have a core they can ship out.

keep researching the 2.4 if you're seriously considering it. there were some fitment issues you need to be aware of.

personally i'm prolly gonna get a rebuild done sometime by VT and then turbo. should be fun...
