I think you are telling us you have water in the cylinders from leaking head gaskets. That happens sometimes. If you did not overheat the engine very much the cylinder heads are probably good. Then you would only need new gaskets.
Replacing the engine with one from a Legacy would make your SVX the same as a farm tractor. Not a good choice.
