Default Engine Swap Questions

k so my parents bought a 1992 honda civic sedan which i will buy from them when i can. i was thinking that it would be a waste of time to spend money fixing it up, and so i figured id engine swap it with a newer engine.

k so what are the basic guidelines for engine swapping? like i figured you cant swap a honda engine with a nissan or something....but if i swapped it with an integras engine or something, do the years have to be the same? what types of cars would be compatible for an engine swap for a civic? would it be better to buy a regular engine, or like an aftermarket engine, like is the latter worth the money? how much would it be to get someone to do the engione swap for me (est.)?

thanks for any help someone gives me

btw i saw the sticky of online resourcesabout the engine swaps but i just need some general info about engine swaps which i ddint see in the links
