1. yes you can. if you know enough.
2. if you have 10000punds/16000 euros to spend on engine, you dont have to worry about anything about price. you could just drive your car to local workshop and tell them to do all.
3. how much it will cost, depends on how much you can do by your self and where you buy them. look prices from burton, pj motorsport and such places. and how much labour cost is, it depents who builds your engine.

if you have that kind of cash forget doing it yourself unless you are a masochist it's easy enough but why do it if you don't have to, have you thought about buying an engine done from a breaker i have just done this and it worked out cheaper and easier if you can find a breaker you can trust for that kind of power you only need a standard engine with a t34 and good head gasket anyway if it's a really good engine obviously you will need ecu and injector upgrade also i would recommend paul at north yorkshire rs spares for an engine. it all depends what you want at end of day
