I have a better shop in Rancho Cucamonga.. and he would not only be cheaper but do a better job (it's where I did my '69 Camaro)
$15k for the engine and tranny????
You can buy a new LS2 for $5500 and a new T56 for $3k.. that leaves $6500 for "incidentals".. and that seems like an awful lot of "incidentals".. has the guy done LS1 swaps before? Did the $20k include the fuel, cooling, mounting systems? Computer programing? Harness? engine accesories? new engine? used engine? rebuilt engine? All of those things effect the price.
Like I said.. I could help you get it done cheaper than that.. If you are looking at an LS1 then I am pretty sure you can find the engine and tranny for somewhere near $5k.. then you will need labor and some $ for stuff like motor mounts, wiring and such.
