Putting a 5M-GE in an RA60 would be a very difficult job, and you'd be left with screwed-up handling and straight-line performance that's best described as "average" (ie you'll struggle to keep up with current model Commodores). Worth it? I don't think so. I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's cheaper and easier to sell the Celica and buy an MA61 Supra, which has lots of extra goodies anyway.
As for the 18R-G conversion, I did it in my back yard with only very basic tools and very little mechanical knowledge, and it took a single afternoon with the help of one friend. A mechanic could probably do it in a couple of hours. $2200 sounds a bit steep to be honest, but then again, what do you expect from a mechanic! He'd probably screw up the job anyway.
