No, it's not easy to move to a 20b. Alot of money just for the engine and alot of modding. Search for more information.
You didn't specify, but usually what fails after overheating are the coolant seals. If your engine is only 50K miles, that means all the other major components should be in decent shape. I would rebuild what you have. If you want to go single that's up to you...but that should be a separate issue. You can always go single after rebuilding your own engine.

I agree, just rebuild what you have. I've been down the path of hybrid engine to chassis swaps (VH45 in a s13), and I don't plan on doing it again. Going single turbo and going 20b are going to cost you much more money (and time) than just rebuilding your current set up.
