it took me two days each on the intake and lid. . .did my suspension parts same days. . . Need to clean them and touch up. Need to yank my trans and replace the clutch/plate, and get the 3rd gear fixed. . . BADLY! Need to yank the engine and either replace the headgasket or simply replace w/a 4xx engine. . .
