Easy Swap

What would be the easiest way and cheapest way to swap a 2.8 for a 2.8??
What would be an easy way to change the heater core also?

The answer is to put out the correct effort to make the swap worth it.
Don't cut corners.
You have no idea how easy an engine is to work on outta car.
I gave ya all my suggestions.
I'm doing that when I swap in another engine into my Blazer.
