You can remove the motor yourself. If you have never done it before, plan on about 20 hours, but it is not difficult. A-Z getting engine out. A-F taking trans off..deliver engine, engine rebuilt, F-A trans back on, Z-A engine back in car and running.
Just intimidating.
Take hood off...take core support off (another hour) if you want it easier.
Take pictures, many of them, remove the parts and label them.
I am certain that if you get stuck, there are people here that will assist.
