Your only Solution is to dismantle your engine and buy new rod bearings, perhaps get stronger ones and ARP rod bolts. Do regular oil changes, never abuse the engine when its still cold and that should help out a lot. Most Rod bearings brake because its not receiving enough oil and friction creams it pieces.
A SWAP will just cost you more and giv emore headaches. Nows a good time to replace seals and do an engine rebuild.
