Run as fast as you can from that shop! You should be able to find an engine for less than $500, or better yet a whole car. Instalation should not take more than 8 hours. While you are there change the rear main seal, timming belt(you don't know how old it is or how long the engine has sat)and inspect all belts and hoses. Where are you, I am sure other brickboards can help you locate a local shop, or better yet do the work yourself, all you have to lose is time, at worst you will deliver the car to the mechanic wihtout an engine. If you have a camera and a note pad take pics of all steps and notes to go with them, instalation is the reverse of removal, as simple as that. What you have to gain is knowledge, something one never has enough of. Though it may seem like a daunting task remember, others have done it before you, refer to a good book such as haynes or chilton and have fun.
You don't know you can't do something until you prove it(remember the kid who didn't like jello, because he never tasted it he assumed he didn't like it)
Enjoy
