Anyone have recommendations on where I can get an engine swap in the Phoenix area? I’ve called around a few places, and most shops say they don’t swap.
I did call Higgy’s in Mesa but they quoted $20,000 which seems steep to me.
I’m open to bringing the truck to any reputable locations within AZ or southern CA if you guys have any suggestions. Thanks!

Edit/Update: I’ve had a couple shops tell me that Higgy’s probably quoted that high because they don’t want to do the job. However, when I spoke to Higgy’s they didn’t give me that impression. If anything, they seemed more than willing and happy to do it, as they specialize in custom builds and are passionate about it. I’m also aware that prices for everything have gone up in recent years, which doesn’t help my case.

The Truck Shop in San Diego does the swap, are also highly rated, and quoted $10k-$15k dependent on certain factors. They did mention that getting it smog approved is a guaranteed bureaucratic nightmare in California though. A representative will need to approve it for smog one time, not every time I need to have it smogged (I’m moving back to CA in 6 months so that’s why that’s relevant)
