length of install
I would be very impressed if one guy could do it in a day if it's his first time.
Normally a header install takes about a day to get everything done right by one guy.
And removing then reinstalling headers is only PART of the heads/cam install.
Mine took about 18 hours with me and a mechanic friend working. That time includes cracking the oil pan and replacing it though. But, plan on at least one thing going wrong, and give yourself time for it.

I can do it in about 10 hours. Takes me about 4 hours to tear it down and 6 to clean and reinstall everything. I spend extra time adjust the valve train with shims, and torqueing everything in steps takes a while.
