You can occasionally pick up a used/rebuilt engine for about $2500 - $3000.

I actually think what you were quoted sounds a bit low for a new engine. Even if the engine is $6400 - that only leaves 28 hrs of labor (@ $100.00/hr) to remove and re-install. (37 hrs at $75.00/hr).

Expect replacement to take about 4 weeks.
