I wouldn't expect an engine swap to be cheap or hassle-free at all. An uncle of mine had a Suzuki Vitara with a Volkswagen Diesel swap, and even though it's not so hard to find adaptor plates to match the engine to other transmissions it's still quite troublesome. My uncle struggled to improve the cooling on that Vitara.
