The amount you put in could be used for a down on a new car. Either way, save or scrap will cost you just about the same. Just that with a new car it will last you a lot longer, then having a used engine that will go at any time.

I've to agree with Jaws.
If the car body is in good shape, I say go for the swap

If your anywhere near Michigan, I'll give you a 7A from a 96 ST (manual tranny though). Just taking up space in the garage.
