A swap like that is pretty much plug & play, other than possibly having to wire VTEC.

If you have the ability to go 2 or 3 days without having to drive your car & have a friend to lend a hand I'd recommend doing it yourself & saving a lot of money.

A shop of a family friend did my last motor swap for me for $500. Only reason I didn't do it myself is because I didn't have access to the tools or a garage to do the work in.

I feel that.

Not having the right tools or time to do it yourself is expensive.

Sorry I couldn't be any help, but good luck.
