Wouldn't hurt to go to a dealership and ask about the labour cost. You might be able to find a new Or rebuilt one on E-Bay for a decent price. I was able to buy a rebuilt one for a V8 Mustang for $90 including shipping and put it in myself. But mine was like a 5 minute job, the smaller compact engine might be tougher to access.

Haynes repair manuals are what 20 bucks...maybe get one of those, they usually give a description of how tough the job is.
