regular engine swap need help

hi everybody,
my 95 automagic max is sitting in the shop for a heart transplant from a wrecked 96 automagic max. The dumbaaasss mechanics got to this point and said "no, no, it won't do" they are telling me that the engine won't fit.
man, i am spending more than 1500 dollars already, and they gone tell me it won't do? anyone has any idea why? I am at school all day, and they kept calling me asking me what to do. How the hell do I know?

Help if you know anything about this. thanx alot

Did they say why a 96's engine won't fit into a '95, besides the point that they are brain dead?

How the fawk is it that a VQ30DE engine will not fit in an engine bay designed specifically for a VQ30DE engine?

That's just stupid.

Get your money back if they can't do it, and if they won't give you your money back call up the BBB.

that is retared. the VQ30DE engine as long as its from 95-99 should fit any year of the car.

Watch out they may be trying to shank you, or maybe they messed up something and are trying to dumb it back on you and say they cant do it.
