engine replacement on 1999 9.5 2.3

I recenlty bought a 1999 9.5, 2.3. I new the engine was bad. I brought it to a specialist to get a correct diagnosis. He said the "breather box" was bad. Which in turn caused the turbo to fail. I thought replacing a turbo would be getting by cheap so I had him pull the pan to see what shape the engine was in. He pulled the pan and did'nt like what he saw and suggest I pull a bearing to see if it's worth rebuilding the engine $2500 to $2700. He pulled the bearing and said it was'nt worth rebuilding. So I can get a junk yard engine for $1600 without a turbo. I've replaced some domestic engines in the past. Is it very difficult to DIY an engine? If so can someone give me some insight on manuals etc. With the engine out are there pre-op things to do to the replacment engine before dropping it in the vehicle? custom oil pans, timing belt etc.
