I have never done an engine swap before mine. When I look back it is easy as pie . If you take it to a shop, shouldn't be more than a week, because it took me that long and I didn't know what I was doing. Now I think I can do it in a day. I didn't even have power tools, just hand tools.

I have a few friends that can do swaps in 4-5 hours, so im guessing that a shop wouldnt take longer than a day.

If you have everything you need it should not take longer than a day.
