Even i its just burning oil
So what I did, was get the dealer to purchase th engine for me through this third party with a warranty for it ad Im gonan take it, and get it put in by another local shop I deal with regularly here, where they are reputable, and I will pay for the labour.....How much do you think the labour portion will run me?

If this "dealer" is the same shop that tried to talk you into buying a used motor... stop now before you get yourself in deep shit.
It sounds like you're trusting their word about this warranty.
I wouldn't believe them for one second.
That warranty sounds far too good to be true.
And by relying on this "dealer" to buy the motor, you're leaving yourself vulnerable should something go wrong. If you absolutely insist on going with a swap, buy the motor yourself... with your name appearing on the receipt.
But I agree with Steve -- it's the wrong way to solve your problem.
Forget about the whole idea of a swap.
Instead of taking a chance on a used motor with a questionable warranty, have the reputable shop rebuild your motor.
New rings, new cylinder bore hone, new seals throughout.
Yes, it will take longer.
Yes, it may cost more.
But it will be a reliable solution with far better warranty protection, because you will only be dealing with the shop that performed the work.
