Default [DFW] engine install shop?

does anyone know a good trust worthy shop in the DFW area that can install a crate motor.? I'm try to plan and budget my next upgrade. I plan to buy a 383 from strokermotor.com here in Dallas but need to find a good shop in the area to pull mine and install the new one.
also what kind of price should I expect to pull and install my engine?

I did mine myself, but I'm just curious how much do they charge for such a service.
