Mmmpphhh, you MIGHT be able to find a good used core, and rebuild it for that much. But you'd have to do the swap yourself. When you get mechanics to swap engines, you get some pretty nuts labour bills. You can get a better idea by talking to some machine shops in the area.
If you can't afford even just a budget, no-frills rebuild, maybe consider just repairing the block you have. Assuming that it's just the head gasket, stop driving it (duh
), buy new head gaskets, replace them yourself, and save the $1400 for the 350. Of course, it may not be that simple. The coolant and oil mixing for as long as it has may have caused some damage...
