if you want a breakdown there was only 3 of us, we started at 430pm and worked till about 330am, at which time we had the k back on the car and the longtubes on the car. started up again at like 230 the next day and finished up at about 4. its really not a quick or easy install, dont let anyone fool you.

the whole lift thing is over rated if you ask me. air tools are not, could have easily shaved 2 hours off if we had air tools.

i have heard of someone dropping the motor/k/tranny out from under the car and using a cherry picker to lift the car itself up about head high which wouldl take about 3-5 hours for the install.
