Well if you did all that in 6 hours BY YOU SELF, takin the old motor out, new motor in, including all the the lines wires, trans driveline, running I give you alot of credit.. Thats is a big feat to do in that lil time. It took me and a friend, were both very mechanical savy 11 hours to do it, we rolled

If everything goes right i believe 1 motor out 1 motor in can be done easy in 6 hours ready to run kinda BS though. My truck is 5 speed so its way easier to unbolt the trans and stuff underneath. But i think in 6 hours i might be able to get 1 motor pulled and 1 motor put in but not ready to run.
