Life After Taking Up Smoking?

My 70,000 Mr2 has just started smoking. All is fine at start up but under load, when hot, it smokes quite badly! It would seem to have contracted the oval bore disease.

I had decided to sell the car a week before it took up smoking.

My questions are,

Is there life after smoking? The car whilst being tidy, is not worth much when running, let alone now.

How much is involved to rebuild/ fit a second hand engine, considering that I no longer need the car?

Is the 190bhp engine swap viable or is that just making the car less sellable?

Best to ask over here www.mr2roc.org its a forum dedicated to the roadster, not many roadster owners on here.

What colour is the smoke, whats the water look like in your expansion tank, have you lost any oil?

From what i've heard when oval bore occurs you don't really know much about it as far as smoke goes, it just runs out of oil pretty quickly and the engine goes bang.
