motor swap


So what is the fastest (while still doing a good job!) that anyone has done a complete motor swap. I am pulling my stock 302 and dropping in a carb'd 347 and I have over a week before school starts and the guy that is going to help me and pretty much going to show me how( newb on the other whole situation) says it is not that crazy just kinda time consuming and he likes to make sure he does it right. ( kinda like in bed) so how long do u think it would take? Also how much does a stock 302 motor sell for with all the stock components, it has 163k on it and doesnt burn any oil that I can tell.

If everything is sitting there ready to go

Just unhook the old, pull, reinstall and hook back up. .... you can
do it in a single day easy. Say 6 hours start to hood closed

Between a weekend and 6 years depending on how dedicated you are to getting it done quickly..

4 days should be fine, but you never know when taking things apart where you might get stuck.
