TCR Automotive and Performance, in Tucson. It cost me $2600.00.
By reading some post, some would say there are cheaper alternatives, but I am happy with this deal for several reasons:
1. His shop is in the local area. A very important reason for someone like me who has never installed a motor before. He has already answered a ton of questions for me.
2. His shop was clean and as orderly as can be. This is always important to me no matter where I take my business to.
3. He was a very nice guy and appeared to be very meticulous about his work. At times, he even talked me out of spending more money on parts that I wanted, but did not need.

A blown head gasket helped me make that decision.
