When I did my swap I didn't drop the cradle do to the fact I didn't want to have to bleed the brakes and re-align the car. If you drop the cradle it should only take about a day.

Drop the cradle In dropping the cradle, you should not have to have an alignment as there are dowel pins that it lines up with.
I had mine on the ground in about 4hrs going slowly. I do have a spohn tunnel mount torque arm that I did not have to jack with.
Bleeding the clutch can be more of a beach !
I've never done one out the top and don't want to....

had mine out in a little over an hr and a half with me and my buddy. we were on a lift which helps. disconnecting everything really is easy, the only part you have to pay attention to is when your raising the body go a few inches at a time to make sure nothing is hooked and you will need to snake the brake lines out. really very easy. but then again i was motivated. might not be so quick if it was someone elses car haha.

I've done it a few times. (In my driveway, my neighbors love me) Piece of cake, the only way to do it. Here is an excellent write up how to do it. Although it's an LT1, most of it still applies.
