A new head gasket is $35.99 at Schucks. Unless there is engine damage from coolant leaking where it isn't meant to go, You could save quite a bit from just doing it your self.
An 8 banger is going to cost more. And you could easily get alittle extra power from the 300.
If you don't want to tear into the internals you could do Carb, intake, ignition and exhaust and have more than 80 more HP. If you added internals to compliment the bolt ons, the power possibilites are as endless as your wallet allows. My 300 I6 has 300HP and 400 Torque.
As I always say, Six in a row makes it go, less than that ain't gonna tow...If it's a V it ain't for me.
Best Regards
