How hard is it to change your shortblock?

[swl987]

I can't really safely go much further with my HP until I get a new shortblock. I just wanted to know how much work is involved. I put everything on my car pretty much except the gears. I'm not a mechanic and I struggled with a lot of it. If anybody who has done this can let me know what to expect I would appreciate it. thanks

Well a shortblock is what a block with crank rods and pistons? Soooo..everything else you see when you pop your hood will have to be swapped. If you aren't a mechanic or know you stuff really well I would not mess with it lol.
