swaping to a 16V would require changing a lot more than just the engine... different ECU (engine control unit, the computer that runs the fuel injection), different manifolds, etc.
cheapest place to get a used engine is from a 'pik and pull' kind of junkyard where you yank the parts yourself, or from a private party thats parting out a car, typically one thats been in an accident.
I'm curious why you think you need a whole engine? the 8 valve B230F engines are extremely robust, its rare they need more than a new head due to overheating. was it driven without oil or something?

yes, a rebuilt motor from a remanufacturer will be pretty expensive, I just googled a few places, you're looking at maybe $2000 for a B230F plus a $500 core fee (you get that back when you ship them your dead engine so they can remanufacture it for the next guy), and $200 shipping (covers the return of the old motor too).
