shit itself?

About 4 months ago i went to the mechanic for a busted valve spring and he told me that my engine had been poorly maintained in the past (not by me) and she was on her last legs.
So any way i noticed it was using a bit of water and a slight loss of pepp. And if i check the oil while its hot. Its milky and gross. I changed it last week but it looks shit already.
Cracked head? Gasket? mechanic said the head was badly eatin out.

Time for a stroker?

Found a good engine with 80 k on it and bought it. $800.
Now i need to get in my jeep! Anyone can tell me how May hours this should take a mechanic? Gonna get quotes tomorrow. Anything to beware of? Its a 96 going into a 94.
Thanks
