Engine swaps are costly and the time that you will be without a car is considerable. However, some people prefer the swap to a more powerful N/A car than using a turbo.

Although with a turbo build, the down time of your car will be days.
Motor swap will be a couple of weeks.

And I assume that you will be having a shop do the work. So figure about $5,000 to $7,000 for a B18C1 long block with everything that is needed. And then maybe around $2,000 for the shop's bill.
