Spaceships are expensive to fix, but they are ******* you.
$7K+ of labor is too much to yank out old shit and bolt in new IMO. I know that Ford EcoBoost = oil lines, coolant lines, intake tubing, vacuum hoses, and wire harnesses galore- all stacked 3 deep on top of each other; but at $175 an hour, that's 55 hrs. Nearly 7 full days of labor.
Granted, they are transferring over some parts from your old engine ($23K won't even get you a new waterpump and they reuse the old oil pump LOL) but those parts can be transferred way faster than normal since the old engine will be out of the truck and it's going to be scrap.
Why is there $1000 in "incidental parts"? They are already charging you full-on retail for every nut and bolt (none of which will they actually replace)- what else could they need another $1000 in parts for, given the massive parts cannon they plan to launch at your truck?
I'd take this list to a independant shop and see what they'll do it for.
Honestly- are you going to keep it after this repair? You won't trust it anymore. You might as well get it fixed as cheaply as posssible if you are going to unload it.
