You really want to look to options outside the dealership. You can easily get a low mileage engine for this beast for between $1250-$1500 and add another $500-$700 for labor and you're about at half what the dealer wants. Most shops have pretty good relationships with reputable suppliers so I wouldn't worry about them hitting you with any shipping and handling charges.
What I can't understand though is that you drove(?) your car to the dealership for them to tell you the engine was bad? 4 Cylinders will run on 3 Cylinders but it would have been a hell of a ride to the dealership.
