wrenching an hour here or there a week when i could ...about 2 months. I couldnt tell you total time with cleaning the engine bay and k frame up and repainting. At all comes out and goes in pretty easy just take your time to do it right and safely.

we did my friends notch that way. We basically took his perfectly fine GT and put all that stuff in his 4 banger notch. Took us a week and a lot of beer. This swap is not something that should be sped through. I am in the process of doing it to my 86 notch and it has been 2 months already but it is getting there. I just can't wait to see how my Terminator Notch is going to be
