    shouldnt take you 2 days thats for sure . LOL

    but droping it in shouldnt take that long i say a good 6-8 hrs
    if its your first time,

    Unless your not mech incline. then ya not 2 days but 2 weeks .


    the easiest way i done it is leaving the hareness on the engine just unplugging the sub hareness. then when the motor is out transfer it over other then that

    if you're doin it at a shop with air tools, then no more than 3 hours considering you'll have a lift. Its pretty damn easy man, my homie just finish his d swap in about that time frame in his garage though. As long as you know what to do then there should be no delays. Take the axles out, shift linkage, and mounts is all there is too it, a basic socket set will accomplish all these. Just make sure you change the water pump and timing belt before swapping a new motor in.

    me and my friend can pull one in about an hour and a half if we just jump in. we always unplug everything first, and pull it out.

    Depends on how many times you've done it. If it's your first, schedule for 6 hours.. I'm not lying.

    I've done more than i could ever count, the last one i did was with air tools and a lift, me and Silversol timed ourselves. Start to finish (starting to leaving the shop) we did it in 1hr 10mins.
