Unless you have a mate who can make mounts/weld shafts etc then it won't be cheaper than fitting another 1.6.
Can be done in a day if you have all the tools to hand.

No matter what, it's going to cost you money to get the engine fitted. It's the cost of the engine and the parts that make the LET so much more expensive.

Haven't seen them cheap for the past two years, they are getting hard to find aswell.
When I priced up a XE conversion, Figured it wasnt worth it for a tired, 16 year old engine (at least).
