Engine Swap

Ok so i have an 02 Altima with 95k and it shakes like crazy.
Took it to the delaer for the ECU recall.
Now it still there but when i drive and i hit the gas, it barely reacts.
I took it to a mechanic and a friend who is a master tech and they both told me the head gasket is done.
White smoke comes out the muffler.
They said the best bet is a another engine.
he found a 04 altima engine with 30k on it.
Should i do it ?
What r the pros and cons ?

I think it would be cheaper to just replace the headgaskets
