Ok guys...my mechanic is not starting to diss me BUT he is starting to not have "time" right now. He says he has a lot of cars, I've noticed he is saying he is doing 347, 351, blowers..blah blah blah...

Well If any of you has been paying attention to my threads I have been getting parts that has just been laying around in my garage! Parts that he has suggested, parts that I know works and especially parts that you guys have mentioned on here....

To make a long story short...IM TIRED OF WAITING! I almost feel like just doing it myself:

1. I get the satisfaction of doing it (but I have no time)
2. I wont have to pay him
3. At least will learn along the process.

What are your thoughts, how difficult is this to do? I'm not very technical savvy....

Definentally do it your self, don't pay your *** hole mechanic to do that ****. It's not hard, it just takes time and tools.

your mechanic sucks, this can be done in 2-4 hours with air tools. 4 1/2-6 without,.

when you say it's not hard? How long do you think it will take for an average/non mechanic experience to do this stuff? Tools, I have basic screw drivers, wrenches, what else do you think I will need?
