Surely they would include IMS in that price though, right? As often as those fail, no shop would quote a engine install without it, right?

I am sure they will only include it if they list it in the estimate as "included". A motor replacement certainly would not automatically include any possible upgrades. That would be a motor "refresh and replacement". Read the fine print and make sure you know what is/is not included. Now is a great time to have the IMS done because the motor will be out and save $1000 in labor costs.
