$2K is on the higher end but not unreasonable for an engine swap. At that price, I would hope that it will include new coolant and any other incidentals.

With a "reconditioned" engine, be sure to read the fine print and know EXACTLY what new parts you are getting. Often you will find that very few parts are actually new and if its not new, its used and not worth anything more than a part that you'd get on a used engine.
