2-3 hours at most shops.
Expect to drop ~$150-250 for the work.
(I paid $160 to have mine done)

Javier had a writeup on his site that helps you understand the process.

Well, I said screw spending the $400 every shop around here wanted to charge and just did it myself. Wasn't a hard job to do solo. Funny thing, when I called around asking for estimates some of the shops try to make it sound like an impossible task for enyone who isn't a professional transmission builder. I think they were just a bunch of douche bags out to get my money. The Modern Muscle Cars write up was pretty helpful.
