It's a pretty straight forward "unbolt and bolt back on" type of job.
Remove distributor, intake, exhaust manifold... reverse to install.
Only tip I can think of is make sure you dont pinch part of the wiring harness inbetween the head and the block. I've heard of that happening

weekend probably if you can work quickly and efficiently maybe 8 hours, but it depends on how mechanically apt you are.
