Putting a supercharger or turbo on is probably less expensive in the long run.

If you do the engine swap you need to change the transmission, driveshaft, the ECU, the fuel lines, the AC lines, and a whole lot more. If you can pick up a wreck, the same year as your car, then it is easier because you can pull all the parts you need from that if they aren't damaged.

With either you will need to upgrade the rear end to the 8.8" to handle the extra power.
