do you have a source for an engine? have you costed that?
$800 is probably pretty reasonable for an Aero if it doesn't need too much else.
I'm not sure if it will be cheaper or not to do the swap. If you can do it yourself, maybe, but the cars have depreciated enough you could probably get a decent running one for $3k give or take... all the 9-5's have a turbo, but the Aero gets the more reliable one... I'd budget for more repairs than just the engine swap - there's probably a few "while you're in there" things you should do (but not all are costly)...
good luck!
