i would say 2 days if you have all the parts and take frequent beer/food breaks along the way.

you won’t have the right tools. it’ll take about a week to do easy.

I figure you can do it in one day (4-6hrs) , granted you know what your doing.
If you haven’t done it before i figure 2days with the right tools… else 1 week.
I’m going to do this swap sooner then later but need a few more parts to complete it…
