If you are familiar with the work and have some experience with turning wrenches like you say, it'll be atleast a 3 hour project just getting everything removed....

Be ready to be without the car for 48 hours!

***Cam timing tool. And see about renting a cherry picker. You have no idea how much easier it would be with the engine out of the car. Ford sells a gasket/install kit for doing the PI swap. It comes with new head bolts (which you need), and all gaskets you need.

I imagine they are all the same, but cam timing tools are universal, correct? You don't need a special one for a modular engine?

I pulled my motor, it made it so much easier!!! Dirt control and not fighting to do the job, but either way it's a two day job!!!!
