No sort of about it. A couple years ago, some guy had a westy sitting
out back of the place I worked in an industrial park. The van was there
for a couple days, I was curious. Next timeI saw him I asked him what
was up. He was waiting for an engine to be shipped from Sacrotomato and
he put it in on one weekend.

I have done it in my garage on both an aircooled and a waterboxer... The
waterboxer was easier and took lots less time. I suspect it could be
done in about 8 hours total. I just don't envy doing it outside in
December on the east coast if that is what it would take.
