is this a fair price to swap out my engine?

I'm having my original engine swapped out with a brand new crate engine. My mechanic is going to hook everything back up and tidy up the engine bay and nicely route all the hoses and wires. He's also going to strip down and repaint all the brackets and pulleys black. Also pressure wash all the grime and grease from the engine bay area while the engine is out. He is quoting me $1900 in labor. He's also putting an intake, fuel pump, water pump ect onto the new crate engine so it's not just a ready to go drop in. Also installing a new starter, flywheel, and radiator. I'm having all the parts and engine shipped directly to his shop, and having the truck towed to him as the engine is currently partially torn down.

Is this a fair deal?

I don't have much space or the equipment to do the swap myself. Would just feel better to know it's not too bad of a deal. All in all, I will be out about $5k out the door with parts and labor.
