whats your fastest engine swap time?
Power tools are outta the question cause this is for the men who don't have that ---- and don't need them or don't have room for a compressor in there tiny garages. I pulled a one engine(y7) still hot by myself and intalled the new (z6) engine and boosted it in one day with no power tools and no help.Pulled her in saturday afternoon about 4pm and worked till 10pm and ate supper in between and woke up sunday and worked from 9am till 1pm and cranked her over boosted and no CEL's vtec working and boosting. I surprised myself that I could do it that fast or am I slow?

in 50mins i can usually order all the parts, pull a motor, get all the parts in the mail, install, rebuild a turbo and rail the neighbor girl.
on a serious note, i can pull my motor in well under 2hours without power tools of any sort. and a tranny by myself in under an hour.
suppose it doesn't help that half the bolts are already loose.

for me, i can pull my motor out in about 2 hours, and once its ready to drop back in, another 2 hours.

OKay and now some real times. It takes me usually like 45 minutes to pull the tranny off and it's nothing to me now but this was my first swap by myself and no friend helping out or even here to let me know if I'm forgeting anything.
