Can any tell me what mods need to be made to put a 606 engine into a 300 sdl??

About 1 1/2 years ago I bought an 87 300 sdl, and imported it into Canada. When I go tit home, I found out the the oil was full of water and algae (not a good sign). Anyways, I changed the oil every 1000 miles for the first 5000 miles, and got it cleaned up. I have now driven this car 50000 miles, and up until recently, it did not use a drop of oil. I could drive 120 mph for 2 hours without stopping (longest I ever had to do that), the oil level would remain rock solid. Just recently, the engine suddenly started to blow oil out the exhaust. Part burnt oil, and part raw as far as I can tell. I have massive blowby. when the engine is idling, and I remove the dipstick, oil comes spurting up the dipstick tube.

I have thought about trying to get more power out if this car, but I started to wonder about putting a 606 engine into it instead. Does anyone know what kinds of modifications I would have to make to do this project, and the possible drawbacks?? Would it be better to buy the turboed or naturally aspirated 606 model??

Thanks in advance for the help.
