Mate... no offence or nothing but dont say something is easy and doable until you've tried it yourself.

Personally, I have done one engine swap where me and some friends decided to drop in a 4age into a corolla[87 model]. And yes we managed to some shit are self but when it comes to wiring, etc. you cant learn that shit from a book! fuck, we had to get a electrician to make sure the ecu, etc was connected properly. Not to mention placing the motor in correctly wasnt the easiest of jobs.

In the end if you got a lot of money and arent afraid to spend it, go to a shop. If you got a bit of money and some equipment do some work yourself then get it properly finished, eg get the technical work done by a electrician.
If you really want a project/pain in the ass do it yourself, and realise your gonna need time/money/equipment/most probably help and frickin pateince as you will go nuts when you realise you forgot something, etc.

whatever floats ya boat!

peace
