Default Most Economical swap. Price?

Here's the situation: I owe my dad 2k left on my car(1k for the car/1k for insurance/gas/ etc...). My motor is a 95 D16z6 with about 7k on it(rebuilt). Its been abused by the former owner. I have a few questions:

1) What is the cheapest and most economical swap? Any good places to buy a motor? Should I buy off a reputable online seller, or from a junkyard?

2) How hard would it be for me to install it myself? I am really scraping for pennies, so any way I can save $ it great! Is there a site that can give explicit details on how to swap X motor in? Is there any way I can get around tuning bills, and yet have a smooth running car?

3) I am hoping to eventually get a turbo. What turbo would be my best bet. I want something I can daily drive, and yet crank up boost for race days. Also, I don't want something that requires alot of tuning and maintinence(scratched off the LS/Vtec swap)

I'm not real sure about the details of swaps, but I need a little help!
