how long to swap 8v engine?

[joshstanvw]

i did mine in a day on my own with no engine hoist as all i did was took the front end off the car propped the engine up and moved the car off of the engine i did have to get my old man to help me lift the new engine onto the props though as they are fairly heavy i would say make it a time hen you have 2 free days. one day should do it but leave another free day just incase

we can do them in about 6 hours without slogging our guts out. Done a few though. Just take your time and make sure you connect everything back up.....
