95 900SE Is Tempting Me

I came across a '95 900SE convertible with what I'm guessing is a basket case engine. What I know is the engine does not start, there's a new timing belt on the front seat & various nuts etc on the floor. It has about 111k, everything else seems in good shape for the miles & age. I'll know more after this weekend. I think I know what the opinion of this board is about the 2.5, but I like a good challenge. Can this engine be exchanged for a newer, I think 3.0 short block? If bought for less than $1000, will I come out ok ($$$) if I do the work? What's a reputable source for new or rebuilt engines & how much could I expect to pay someone to wrench for me? Can I test the top (5th Bow motor)just off the battery? Anything else to look for? BTW - I own a '01 9-5 Areo 2.3 and just sold my restored '71 96. Just can't get enough of 'em. Thanks in advance.
