I would start looking for a used replacement engine and when I found one for a good price, I'd buy it and have it in storage ready to install whenever the existing engine fails. Then when the old engine fails, I'd have a local shop simply swap the motors.

I did this recently and spent less than $4K and it took less than a week.

Easy as pie.
