the used motor is the way to go but 2300 sounds high. i would continue to shop around. i think that 1500-1800 is more realistic.
the labor is the killer. it pays around 18-20 hours to change.
remember, they will be no warranty what so ever from the shop as you supplied the motor.

What is the highest mileage you would recommend from a used motor? where would you suggest i look to find a motor at the price you think is acceptable? you said i would have no warranty if i supplied the motor but will a shop find a used motor for me? and if so how much more would they charge than if i found it myself?
and how many hours am i looking at for labor on a motor swap?
as i said before 18-20 hours in labor.
a shop will find it but they will mark it up as they are in business to make money. the amount is up to them.
call several junk yards for pricing. i never believe mileages they give as it cannot be verified.
some junk yards will install the motor as well. as them when you call.
