Changing engine, How long does it usually take to swap an engine? Options

My 5sfe head is shot I currently have 188,+++ on my engine so I am getting another 5sfe with about 85,000 to replace it. I I have about as much time as I have millions of $ none basically. So my point is I want to estimate how much time it would take for me to do it, compared to dropping it off to a shop. My wife thinks it would be better for me to do it to save money along with painting crap in the house installing this an that building a patio and working at my regular job. Then she says well sell it an get a new care thats when we had a falling out lol.

Well i will have to give some serious thought. I did some work on it already and got oil on the garage floor I thought she was going to divorce me till I got it up. I wanna chnge the seals an crap prior to putting it in. Man this really sucks I love my lil car I have been driving an expodition for about a mnth now an I will eventually have to take out a second mortgage for gas alone lol. Well thanks for the incite
