Flyinmiata.com has a crank shaft that increases the stroke, and gets you almost 2.0 L. Get your block bored, longer rods, 11:1 forged pistons, heads ported, 3 angle valve job, new cam shafts, titanium retainers, and solid lifters. That should be a good start. If you want to be able to get the most power from your new engine you will need a programmable Haltech ECU. If you might want to turbo later, change the pistons to 9:1 and don't get crazy with your bore. Let me know how it turns out.

Why is it out??
Did you just decide one day "hey, I think I'll take out my engine"??
Are you talking performance **** or just general maintennce ****?
**** I wish people would be more specific.
