I can have my car in a drivable state. Within 2 hours doing it on my back by myself, i can have the tranny sitting next to the car. Give me another about 3 hours or less and the engine will be sitting in front of the car on a stand.

If you have every possible thing you could need, i say a week is doable busting your a$$.

Wiring is the most time consuming thing. I found it pretty easy though at the same time. (Using factory stuff that is)

If you think it's easier, then i'm not sure you understand the scope of things.

Unless you are doing a extremely simple setup, (which if so, i would like to know your method of attack) i dont see it happening in a shorter time frame.

Stupid me, just noticed you are talking about a factory engine swap now. Then yes you are correct. Should take a day or less. As long as everything is assembled on the long block. Just remember it takes longer to put it in then it does to take it out. ..Thats multipurpose to

Good luck.

Dont know if you missed it or what, (see sig) Ryan and i swaped in cobra 4V motors.
