With or without air tools? With or without experience? Do you have a real engine hoist?

Someone with only hand tools, no experience, and an engine hoist can probably remove it in about 4-6 hours.

If you take 4 hours to remove, you are going to take forever to reinstall. Reinstalling always takes more time than removal as you need to recheck the installation process.

I would recommend buying a repair manual and reading through the sections on removing and replacing the engine before trying it.
