If you have all the parts 2-3 days if you work at it. If you don't have all the parts or all the $$$$$ it could be years lol

Re: Estimated time on this LS1 swap?

like he said; if you have absolutely *everything*, a couple days. however, since you're doing a swap, there's always something little that you forgot or overlook. engine falling into place is the easiest part. fuel system, exhaust, and wiring is where you'll spend your time.

i'm going on a year plus, but its not a daily driver and i'm always finding something new i want. working 7 days a week between 2 jobs doesnt help with timing either....
