Not bad. I bought a motor on friday installed over the weekend and drove it to work on monday. tuesday coming home I gun and push it to 14psi(on a z6 :P) and blow the main seal. I had good running motor for basically two days. Beat that!

well, its all a matter of how lazy your mood is at the time of swapping. I did my tranny in 4 hours by myself ( had the neighbor give me a hand when lining the tranny back after swapping the clutch.

My and -------- have had to swap out his old worn Z6 with a new long block and swap trannies all withing a 6 hour period. and no power tools!

I did a b series swap into my hatch in 4 hours using only basic tools which included, 10 mm, 12 mm,14 mm, 17 mm, 19mm, and 32 mm for the axle nuts, punch for the spring pin for the shiftlinkage, and ball joint extractor thing. And of course a cherry picker. It took me 1 hour to pull the damn cx motor out. I didnt care how messy it got with the fluid and ---- cuz it was at my mom's garage. After i got it out, it took me 3 hours to put everything back.

This was done on a b18b swap, so it was pretty much plug and play. My mom and stepdad can vouch for my swap. Cuz they came outside several time trying to get me to eat, I would yelled at them cuz i wanted to get the damn thing done lol.

But now and days I live in Utah and all my tools are at Nebraska. I have to improvise to get the motor out and in w/0 a cherry picker. And also the driveway condition and the whether I can get it done in 7 hours. This is with bunch of missing tools and pretty much going at my own rate.
