As long as you can get the current motor out, putting the new one in is a tad easier in most cases just because you're used to wrenching. The learning curve is very drastic.

For the longest time I didn't think I could do a swap on my own. I just had to move to phoenix and meet people in the honda scene to realize how easy it was. After a few friends needed help with their swaps it really is an ice breaker. It's not all that bad at all.

First timers are usually just a lot of trial and error.
