Many shops can do it. But not many have done it, let alone done several, let alone have designed essentially complete kits to do the swaps. I would only have pure auto or maybe element tuning has a swap kit they might do installs.

Or You could do typical build path in stages.
Cons are less power potential, maybe less reliability vs a swap.
Pros are about 2/3rd the price(leas depending on choices/diy), less all at once up front cost, simpler and easier to do yourself, learn about your car more, probably easier to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. Enjoy it in stages, each “upgrade” adds new enjoyment. Jumping straight to 500whp you’ll have more fun at first but only for so long once you get used to it. But every “stage” can add months of increased new enjoyment.
Could start
turbo run 7psi make a good 240-270whp depending on gas, save up fir wheels/tires and oil cooler, then turn boost up to make 290-320whp depending on gas and still have pretty good reliability
Then work on the rest of supporting mods, to handle more power, trans swap, catch cans, driveshaft, axles, suspension, brakes, and maybe hood vents, aero and weight reduction.
Then do a full built block and turn her up to 380-420whp depending on gas, And be all set to rip.

Then you’ll have 3 stages of power to enjoy and other performance improvements to enjoy overtime as you build it as well.
