It would probably cost about the same, but would be much less of a headache.

Think about it this way...

REBUILD:

1. Pull engine.
2. Tear down engine.
3. Build, build, build, build.
4. Replace engine.
5. Pray.

REPLACE:
1. Pull engine.
2. Replace engine.
3. Pray.

More chances to mess something up on a rebuild (especially if you're DIY'ing it). Messed up rebuild = you're in the same place you started from, but out $1000.

You can pick up a B20B/B20Z or a B18B pretty cheap. Smack a GSR head on there (if you wish) and call it a day.
