I don't imagine that it would be $3000-$7000 in labor for something like that. Labor would probably be no more than $1000 or $2000 at the very most. I never changed a DeLorean engine, but usually it's a weekend job for an experienced mechanic to swap an engine with an identical replacement. You're still better off buying a DeLorean in good shape than trying to fix one up with a blown engine if your goal is saving money. Normally a car that has a blown engine will have a bunch of other stuff wrong with it too - and if you don't fix whatever was wrong you might blow the new engine too. Of course, the allure of a project car is something which those that want them don't need to have explained. :}
