Last time I was quoted it was in the neighborhood of $15k smog legal.

I was stoked to see how that harness worked. Hopefully you will get it sorted out.

Can't go wrong with good old American V8 muscle. If ever I need to replace the old 1FZFE this is exactly what I would.
Many many years ago I surprised some youngsters in their civic when they tried racing me in my grandmothers Chrysler 383 equipped 300. When we got to the next stoplight they asked me what I had under the hood and I replied "a V8"

Ouch.

And people really pay $12,000-$16,000 or more for a engine swap? Holy hell, I'm in the wrong business.

I can guarantee you that any outfit that does engine swaps make little to no money.

It's not an easy task. The little details kill the labor quote.
