Motor Replacement Mechanic

Hello everyone I’m in need of a motor to replace the motor inside my 2008 G37s it was driven without oil and it is now toast. My car is currently at a shop with a mechanic but I’m not entirely confident he is the right one to do the swap. I’ve been searching the site to see if there are any mechanics someone used or recommended but couldn’t find any for the Southern California area. If someone has anyone that can help me out please let me know, shoot I might even give you a finders fee. I’m just trying get my G back on the road.

Same way dealer managers wife drove off in a fully restored rebuilt bmw 2002tii before they filled fluids. She got about 1/4 mike down the code before motor seized up since it only had assembly lube in it since the engine shop didn't send motor back with oil because manager wanted to use break in oil first that he was waiting on delivery
