I assume that it is not leaking anywhere?
Possibilities are something in the PCV system where oil is getting sucked
back into the intake, worn valve stem seals where the oil gets into the
intake or bad oil control piston rings.

Try a good motor flush in the oil for a few oil changes and see what
happens. With any luck, there is some crud around the piston rings and oil
control ring that is preventing them from seating properly.

If you have alternate transportation, pulling the engine and having it
rebuilt may be an option. I've done that in the past. Dropping off the block
(after stripping it down to the basics myself) at a rebuilder was $1500. Far
less than a rebuilt exchange engine.
