Hi Jeff. Good question!

I will tell you how much time it take me, so i guess you can multiply by 5
to 10 for any normal weekend mechanic.

-Engine removal/van prep (86 +) = 2-3 hours (well, ok, that is all i do
since 4 years).

-Engine assembly (considering i am not changing the head gasket)= 1 easy day.

-Harness = 2 days

-installation = 1 day (not even)

-Testing = .5 day.

So i would say that part time, i guy should take about a month. All weekend
+ a dew night per week.

I think that make sense.
