Default Prices/estimates for engine

I don't have the time or money right now for this but i just want to get some ideas for an engine swap. I have a the 1.8L stock engine in my TI no but i was wondering where to look for the inline 6 cyl. I think it would be a great project for me and my roommates. How much would this cost? How long would it take (roughly)? Is there anything that i'm missing or is it as simple as pull it out and put the new one in? Would i need new transmission as well or clutch? Thanks for the help!

just buy a whole wrecked car that has little to no front end damage. that way you'll have everything you need to do the swap instead of having to search and scrap for missing pieces.
