Any Ideas

I need to swap out my engine , problem Im having is finding a place to do this that isnt incompetent . the shop its at right now had my truck for almost a month and they now say it wont be done till next week, I just told them to forget about it and im commng to get my truck tommrow . It still runs but the engine is worn and tired . SO Im asking the members on here if they know of anyone or shop that is reasonable and competent to do this work. I dont have alot of money to make this happen I live on a fixed income from the VA. Im located in Delaware county NY and probley could drive it to where it needs to go. this is my only transportation and I need to get it fixed asap .SO if anyone can help me out in the surrounding area .thanks

do you know that you need a new motor?
a good shop should be able to pull a motor and put a new one in an a day.
if i can pull them in 6 hours.

no you gotta pull the grill, bumper,header panel , core supt,lights , rad , ac cond ,intercooler, you can leave the fenders you could probibbly leave hood but i would remove it for more room but this is very easy and quick stuff to pull.
