I think your under estimating how much work that would be, if you want a simple-ish engine conversion then look for any engine that came standard in a mk4 golf / audi TT etc...
If you badly want a V6 then go R32 and expect to pay £1000-£1500 for just the engine, you will also need a gearbox - £350-£500, engine mounts & driveshafts, complete engine wiring loom from car / ECU / Dash Clocks (as there coded to the ecu) not to mention the power steering pump / alternator etc etc.
Like most people are saying, unless you dead serious and have say 3 grand burning a hole in your pocket then just use that money to buy a LCR or LC for peanuts and swap your stuff over.
PS i would say a week to engine swap is no where near long enough you would probably still need to do some wiring to mate you new clocks up to the 1.4 leon car loom.
