I have a 94 ST and called a place near me that has a low mileage 3S-GTE for $1900. Seeing as how I have the ST and alot more work is required, he told me he would do it for $5500. Isnt $3600 for labor a bit much? I am sure I could buy the engine and find someone else to do it alot cheaper, but I also want it done right though. Thoughts?

It's marginally cheaper and easier but it's a lot harder to upgrade, I do not recommend the 4AGZE. If you want quick and easy, go for a 20v blacktop.
