I just did that swap last week in my girlfriends car... My frined helped me finish up the last hour or so...I could probably get it done in 3 hours if I wasn't hungry or tired, the motor was all ready to go in, and the old motor was out. It takes me about 2 extra hours to pull a motor (I pulled 3 last week!!!)

a day if you have everything. but plan on something going wrong or something minor missing. but i say a about week. and maybe a little more to get all the kinks worked out.

Edit: One person? You should make some friends and get them to help.

I have a friend who would definitely be willing to help but he's in Baltimore right now going to school. And I haven't met too many people that I trust around here to help me do some work to my car. Thanks for the times. Also on the advice about stuff going wrong. I've already figured that one out a little too well.
