Oh hell yea, with that equipment and you have the experience you say you do then yea, 1.5 days is plenty of time to do it and take your time so you get it all right, that is if you are dropping the K member out the bottom, it will be a breeze with it out of the car.

If you plan on pulling the engine, you might as well rebuild it. You are looking at about three days, unless you work on it for about 12 hours a day then it will take about two days. If thats all you going to do is heads, cam and headers leave the engine in. I am just saying, dont be wasting your time unless you going to put it to good use. Do it once the first time so, you dont have to mess with later.

I'm also a licensed tech and use a hoist. When I did my cam, valvesprings and headers with engine in the car it took around 15 hours. I just did an engine swap out the bottom and the motor/trans was on the floor in 2 hours with a buddy helping. Back in and running in 12 hours. You should be able to change the H/C and headers in no time with it out of the car.
