Depends...

On how much time and money you want to throw at it.
Most here will tell you: Swap a 3.4 into it. And for many good reasons...power and mileage come to mind.
However, if you need to be mobile by Monday, I'd say rebuild it or just swap a used 3.0 into it.
You DID check to see if the recall was valid, right???
