Which one will be worth the money in the long run??

Will ever since my car has been in the shop for the past three days and was being maliciously poked and proded and hooked up to computers they havent been able to pinpoint the problem, so how i see it these are my options. 1) Take it out of the shop i have it in now and take it to Vandergriff Chevrolet(New/Used Chevy dealership) and let their techs pinpoint the problem in a heartbeat(which will cost a pretty penny). 2) Swap in a crate 350(i'm aware of everything else that has to swap too) 3) Swap in a junkyard v6, 3.1 or 3.4, and take the risk of it still not running right. 4) LAST RESORT, sell it and get a new one, i dont want to sell my baby, even though she's had problems she's been good to me, you wouldnt sell your own kid would you ?? ok maybe i'm exaggerating but i dont wanna sell 'er)
