Honestly wasn't too bad. If it has headers. Then take them completely out of the car. They got in the way and I fought putting the bottom, long head bolts in forababout 2 hours. And try and borrow a buddies angle torque wrench. If ur using one of those dial type ones you can use with a regular torque wrench, you'll never be able to fit it anywhere. Also try and keep everything in order from how you take it off and put it together. As in heads, then put the headers back on, then bolt the ground straps and dip stick tube back on the heads, then sensors. Then when you put the intake back on, hook the hoses to the back of it before setting it on all the way.
