front clip is waaaay easier then swapping a motor. i swapped a front clip on a 98 in about an hour. as long as your fenders and upper cross member are all good then it should be pretty easy.

edit, didn't read. even with the fender damage i would probably try and fix it before swapping a motor. but i think i would need to see it to decide.
