Sorry,
Bad news.
These are notorious for this and it usually means at least a new oil pump if not the crankshaft/bearings as well as a new timing chain kit.
And this is usually enough to kill the car.
Any number of these are advertised as spares/repair everywhere.
S/H engine is a solution if you could find one but as stated most of them will be as bad or worse as yours.
As stated sorry for the bad news.

May well be as 1/4 drive suggests but before condemning engine / car it might be worth checking that it's not a weak oil pressure switch coming on when revs drop .This could be caused by many factors like plugs , coil pack dropping a cyl and causing misfire also .
